Does Windows.Networking.BackgroundTransfer support FTPS?

I see that Windows.Networking.BackgroundTransfer does support FTP:

ftp://user:password@server/file.txt

But does it support FTPS?

Solution

  • No, BackgroundTransfer API does not support FTPS.

    As mentioned here:

    This feature is ideal for large file download and upload operations using the HTTP and HTTPS protocols. FTP is supported, but only when conducting download operations.
