Answer 1

According to the log, you have a ReplyReceived event-handler called ftpConnection1_ReplyReceived in the class, ccFTPS_CLient.ftpsTest. It looks like this tries to set the ServerAddress. You can't set the ServerAddress property while the SecureFTPConnection is connected to the server.

Is this an unintentional error, or is there a reason why you want to try to set the ServerAddress property here?
