Advice on multithreading with edtFTPNet in C#

Question

Hi, I need to modify my existing program (which runs through a list of FTP clients and Gets and Puts) so that it uses multiple threads to login to a number of machines simultaneously and Get and Put.

Anyone got any guidelines of how I go about doing this? At the moment I'm thinking of using a ThreadPool to handle x number of connections, then add onto this when one is finished, until the list is complete.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Using ThreadPool would be a sensible choice.

Simply create a pool of a fixed size (e.g. 10 threads), and add all your requests using QueueUserWorkItem. You'll need a WaitCallback delegate to wrap your requests.

As requests complete, queued requests will be processed.
