FTP for ASP.net 4.0

Question

User1316246260 posted

I am using .NET and ASP.net 4.0.

I am trying to download a file from my web server according to MSDN:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229711%28v=vs.100%29.aspx

But other sites differ in NetworkCredential.

Can someone troubleshoot this progam so I can get it to work.

Sub ftp
        Dim request As FtpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create("ftp://ftp.mysite.com/ftp1/"), FtpWebRequest)
        request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile
        request.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("ftp721234, "password")
        Dim response As FtpWebResponse = DirectCast(request.GetResponse(), FtpWebResponse)
        Dim responseStream As Stream = response.GetResponseStream()
        Dim reader As New StreamReader(responseStream)
        Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadToEnd())
        Console.WriteLine("Download Complete, status {0}", response.StatusDescription)
        reader.Close()
        response.Close()
End sub

You have to give proper network credential , please get the network credential from your target FTP server and use it.
