• Execute() - Execute a custom or unsupported command that answers on the control connection. This will consist of the main response line with error or success indication and possibly further lines belonging to this response.

• ExecuteDownloadText() - Execute a custom or unsupported command that answers on the control connection to indicate either failure or commencement of data transfer followed by success or failure, and collects the output of the command from the data connection.

var reply = client.Execute("XCRC myfile.mp4");
if (reply.Success){
    Console.WriteLine("Code: " + reply.Code);
    Console.WriteLine("Message: " + reply.message);
}
