You didn't say what framework or language you're using! On the assumption you want a .NET component: We haven't yet used the FTP component, but recently had good results with the SFTP component from Rebex.NET[^]. If you only need download, not upload, functionality, FtpWebRequest is new in .NET 2.0. You can set the ContentOffset property to seek to a specific location to resume (assuming the server supports the feature, but that's a prerequisite for resuming downloads anyway). Traditionally we used the WinInet library (e.g. InternetOpenUrl/FtpOpenFile), but that's not particularly easy to use.

Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Personally, I like the free library they have available here: EnterpriseDT[^] It supports resuming downloads although I've never needed to (e.g., bothered) to test that functionality. I've used this library on several projects and have always been happy with it.

If you're on .net 2.0, there are some built in ftp classes, and this wrapper makes them easier to use: http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/FtpClient.asp[^]

I have been using Chilkat FTP Free Edition for quite some time now, doing lots of daily up/downloads. Don't know about resuming of downloads/uploads though, as this is LAN and if it fails, just rerun:-> http://www.chilkatsoft.com/ChilkatFtp.asp[^]
