   Really great thing!

   Only problem I had were the parent directories that were listed by the ftp request but not handled by the prog.
   Changes:

   public enum DirectoryEntryTypes
   {
   File,
   Directory,
   ParentDirectory
   }

   public FTPfileInfo(string line, string path)
   {
   //parse line
   Match m = GetMatchingRegex(line);
   if (m == null)
   {
   //failed
   throw (new ApplicationException("Unable to parse line: " + line));
   }
   else
   {
   _filename = m.Groups["name"].Value;
   _path = path;

   Int64.TryParse(m.Groups["size"].Value, out _size);
   //_size = System.Convert.ToInt32(m.Groups["size"].Value);

   _permission = m.Groups["permission"].Value;
   string _dir = m.Groups["dir"].Value;
   if (_dir != "" && _dir != "-")
   {
   string testForDots = Filename.Replace(".", "");
   if (testForDots.Length == 0)
   _fileType = DirectoryEntryTypes.ParentDirectory;
   else
   _fileType = DirectoryEntryTypes.Directory;

   }
   else
   {
   _fileType = DirectoryEntryTypes.File;
   }

   try
   {
   _fileDateTime = DateTime.Parse(m.Groups["timestamp"].Value);
   }
   catch (Exception)
   {
   _fileDateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(null);
   }

   }
   }

   private void _downloadFTPFolderRecursive(FTPclient client, string remoteFolder, string localFolder, bool recursive)
   {
   // Get list of folders/files and download them
   FTPdirectory remoteFolderInfo = client.ListDirectoryDetail(remoteFolder);
   foreach (FTPfileInfo fileInfo in remoteFolderInfo)
   {
   // Download file
   if (fileInfo.FileType == FTPfileInfo.DirectoryEntryTypes.File)
   {
   Console.WriteLine("Downloading file " + fileInfo.FullName + "...");
   client.Download(fileInfo, localFolder + fileInfo.FullName.Replace(remoteFolder, ""), true);
   Console.WriteLine("Downloaded " + fileInfo.FullName + ".");
   }
   else if (fileInfo.FileType == FTPfileInfo.DirectoryEntryTypes.Directory)
   {
   // Recursive download?
   if (recursive)
   {
   // Folder exists? If not, create it!
   string benoetigterOrdner = localFolder + fileInfo.FullName.Replace(remoteFolder, "");
   if (!Directory.Exists(benoetigterOrdner))
   {
   string newFolder = localFolder + fileInfo.FullName.Replace(remoteFolder, "");
   Directory.CreateDirectory(newFolder);
   }

   // Download folder
   Console.WriteLine("Downloading folder " + fileInfo.FullName + "...");
   _downloadFTPFolderRecursive(client, fileInfo.FullName, localFolder + fileInfo.FullName.Replace(remoteFolder, ""), recursive);
   Console.WriteLine("Downloaded folder " + fileInfo.FullName + ".");
   }
   }
   }
   }

   best wishes

   Amazingly hard to find how to do this. This program doesn't work either. It reads . as a directory, so, the first path it reads is:

   public_html/
   then public_html/./
   then public_html/././
   public_html/./././

   ect, ect, ect.

   Just use Wget, it's been around forever and works fine for doing this and is open source.
