Question

Hi,

I am facing problem to upload the file to FTP server.
As ftp server is : ftp://myFTPserver.com
Current Default Folder: GO.$DataW1.SVMANNET

But I want to upload the file on Go.Data72.CLEVDATA Folder.
Can you please suggest me how to change the path from teh default folder to teh folder where i want to upload the files.

Like from command Prompt we can use ftp> cd \GO.$DATA72.CLEVDATA to change the current directory. how can we achieve the same in dot net.

Thanks,
Lakhan

Set the ftp file path in the constructor when you call Create:

WebRequest myWebRequest = WebRequest.Create("ftp://myFTPserver.com/Go.Data72.CLEVDATA/");

I am using the following code. I have already try to pass ftp://myFTPserver.com/Go.Data72.CLEVDATA/ to constructor, its is not working.

        Dim ftpUsername As String
        Dim ftpPassword As String
        Dim credential As NetworkCredential
        Dim request As FtpWebRequest
        Dim reader As FileStream
        Dim stream As Stream
        Dim response As FtpWebResponse
        Dim Source As String="C:\Lakhan\abc.txt"
        Dim Target As String = "ftp://myFtpServer/GO.$DATA72.CLEVDATA/abc.txt"
        Try
            ftpUsername = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("FTPUsername").ToString()
            ftpPassword = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("FTPPassword").ToString()

            'Upload file on FTP server
            'My.Computer.Network.UploadFile(Source, Target, ftpUsername, ftpPassword)

            credential = New NetworkCredential(ftpUsername, ftpPassword)
            request = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(Target), FtpWebRequest)
            request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile
            request.Credentials = credential
            reader = New FileStream(Source, FileMode.Open)
            Dim buffer(Convert.ToInt32(reader.Length - 1)) As Byte
            reader.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
            reader.Close()
            request.ContentLength = buffer.Length
            stream = request.GetRequestStream
            stream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
            stream.Close()
            response = DirectCast(request.GetResponse, FtpWebResponse)
            response.Close()
        Catch ex As Exception
            'Throw the exception to skip the further processing of this file
            Throw New Exception(String.Concat(New String() {"Error in UploadFileToFTP: ", ex.Message}))
        End Try
