The class simply doesn't seem to be supported. See: MSDN documentation. If you need to use FTP, you could try using the FTP class linked here.

Confusingly, the WebClient class is a member of the System assembly, not System.Net

`Confusing is subjective` That's true. It makes perfect sense to not include webclient in `System.Web` - Otherwise it would not be available on the Client Profile. – Jürgen Steinblock Mar 24 '14 at 13:00
