Handling login sequence without password

Question

I am using edtftp.net to connect to my Playstation2 using execftp, a FTP server that runs on the PS2 which is based on ps2ftpd.

This particular FTP server does not require a password, when sending "USER username" it replies directly with a "230" code. I don't know if this is valid as per the FTP RFC but I needed it to work so I modified the FTPClient.Login method to handle this case. Here is the code :

public void Login(string user, string password)
{         
   string response = control.SendCommand("USER " + user);
   lastValidReply = control.ValidateReply(response, new string[] { "331", "230" });
   // If login ok, no need to send password
   if(lastValidReply.ReplyCode == "331")
   {
      response = control.SendCommand("PASS " + password);
      lastValidReply = control.ValidateReply(response, "230");
   }
}

Great library BTW, thanks a lot for making it open source !

Many thanks for your contribution.

We will very soon be starting major enhancements to edtFTPnet, based on recent additions to our Java client, edtFTPj. It will take a little while, but soon all edtFTPj features (of which there are many) will be present in edtFTPnet.
