Answer 1

Some FTP servers will take wildcards, e.g. "*.txt".

Answer 2

infact i was filtering the records also with passing the directory information as
/tellinshare/sms/sdu/record/billrpt/eppc200710*.txt

but it was not responding but now i resolve the problem and now it's giving me the filtered file names.

The problem was, the systems are behind the firewall so i after connect and login i have to change the ConnectMode property to Active then i got the list of files, otherwise it was not responding.

Thanks
