FTPWeb Request not visible under System.Net in Metro APP

Question

So I checked up the MSDN site and it says that FtpWebRequest is still valid under .Net 4.5 but am unable to reference to it when writing a metro app.  Am I missing something or is not the whole .Net framework available for Metro Apps?

Answer 1

FTPWebRequest is not a part of Metro applications.    Here's the System.Net namespace for Metro applications:

Answer 2

Is there a proposed way to perform an FTP connection?

Answer 3

You *might* be able to write your own using sockets, but there is not a Metro-specified way to perform an FTP connection.
