This may be an option - cannot test it - http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/181054/add-support-for-ftps-and-sftp-uris-for-webrequest




>So, I thought by changing the lcURI to start with https:// instead of ftp:// would do. But, that gives an error:
>>
>>"Unable to cast object of type 'System.Net.HttpWebRequest' to type 'System.Net.FtpWebRequest'."
