  how do I stop and start an FTP site programmatically? Reply Contact I'm using FTP7 (or FTP7.5). I create an FTP site using MWA (C#), but when I try to get (ftpsite is a Site object): ftpsite.State it fails with exception: The object identifier does not represent a valid object. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800710D8).  It also fails on ftpsite.Stop and ftpsite.Start methods, but with no exception message. I've also noticed that in applicationHost.config, the attribute "serverAutoStart" has no effect on FTP sites.   So how can I get FTP site state and stop or start it?

Reply Contact Please look in ftp_schema.xml for properties methods related to ftp - the serverAutoStart/Start/Stop for ftp is under the ftpServer element.

  Re: how do I stop and start an FTP site programmatically? Reply Contact ok, thanks for the direction, I see those: <method name="Start" extension="Microsoft.ApplicationHostFtpConfigExtension" /> <method name="Stop" extension="Microsoft.ApplicationHostFtpConfigExtension" /> which are exactly what I need, but I still don't know how to call them from my managed code (do extensions need a special care?). Can you give me a simple code example for stopping an FTP site using a ServerManager object? That would be highly appreciated.

This is how I got it done: using (ServerManager sm = new ServerManager()) {           ConfigurationElement ftp = sm.Sites[ftpSiteName].GetChildElement("ftpServer");           ftp.Methods["Stop"].CreateInstance().Execute(); } Thanks a lot for the hints!
