I guess I am describing an FTP client..........but one that is VERY VERY limited...just upload to location and dowload from location
Just in case that link goes bad:

/*
FTPFactory.cs
Better view with tab space=4

Written by Jaimon Mathew (jaimonmathew@rediffmail.com)
Rolander,Dan (Dan.Rolander@marriott.com) has modified the
download
method to cope with file name with path information. He also
provided
the XML comments so that the library provides Intellisense
descriptions.

use the following line to compile
csc /target:library /out:FTPLib.dll /r:System.DLL FTPFactory.cs
