[dba-VB] FTP and email in .Net

Hi John et al

If you wish to test sending of e-mail without actually sending it, you'll need a dummy SMTP server or a mock.
I found a very simple one (or rather the C# code to build one) here:

  http://geekswithblogs.net/imilovanovic/archive/2004/09/27/11783.aspx 

Call it like this:

  SmtpMock smtpServerMock = new SmtpMock ();   
  smtpServerMock.Start();  
  System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost";   
  System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send("somebody at foo.com", "everybody at bar.com", "This is the subject", "This is the body.");  
  smtpServerMock.Stop ();

It keeps the log in SessionProtocol.

I'll test this at a later occasion.

I am looking (Google) for how to ftp and email in .Net and am not finding anything.  Is this "built in" or otherwise readily available?
