Handle files from ftp:// and file://

I'll make a program that can collect files from anywhere. In the configuration, I should be able to enter filpattern in following forms:

c:\aaa\bbb\cc\aaa*.txt
ftp://user:password@host/ddd/eee/*.dat

Is there any class in .NET that can handle both these cases, or do I have to handle ftp:// and file:// separately?

Edit:

I also have to remove them after I've read them.

Call WebRequest.Create with your URL. That will return a class derived from WebRequest of the appropriate type. You can detect the actual type and cast appropriately to handle the different download protocols. It understands the following URL schemes:

  • http://
  • https://
  • ftp://
  • file://
