I am having trouble to access a FTP server via C# because of not finding the right URI. The ftp server can be found using ftp.xxx.com - thus ftp ftp.xxx.com works from the command line, ftp ftp://ftp.xxx.com yields unknown host via the command line. The same happens then when using

FtpWebRequest ftpRequest = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(new Uri(Settings.Default.FtpServer, UriKind.Absolute));

inside my C# program What am I doing wrong/how do I need to determine the URI?
