Answer 1

Hello,

For the first two requirements, it really has to do with how your remote machine, often called a server, provides file transfer services.

For static resource files, there are usually two file transfer methods, FTP and Http. After you have configured the server-side file transfer, you can refer to the following documents to get these files, and after that, the process is the same as operating local files.

• How to: Download files with FTP
• Consume a REST-based web service

For question 3, you can use the following code to get the current Domain.

try
            {
                string currentDomain = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName();
                Console.WriteLine($"The current domain is: {currentDomain}");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Error occurred: {ex.Message}");
            }
