FtpWebRequest - 550 error

Question

Hello,

i want to create a simple FTP Client.One of the requierements is that FTP Client should support special charcaters (like french characters)
in the files names.I have searched alot on the web for a solution but i havent found one.I think it is releated to URI encoding but i don't have any ideea about how should i encode requested URI so that special charcaters should be supported.

Any quick help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Ionut

Answer 1

You can try using the System.Web.HttpUtility.EncodeUrl method to encode whichever part of the path needs encoding.

Answer 2

 No need to encode it beforehand. The System.Uri callss already supports international characters.


Uri uri = new Uri("your string containing international characters);
FtpWebRequest fwr = (FtpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(uri);
