This is not something that you can normally do unless you have permission to
access the folder containing the files on the server--or unless there is
some web page that exposes the files for download.

in a specified directory that reside on a web server, and get them into my
smart device application to download. I know that I can use the
Directory.GetFiles method when retrieving a list of local files, but I don't
know how to do this for remote files. I am using C#. Any help with example
code would be highly appreciated.
