  The requested URI is invalid for this FTP command

  Mar 13, 2008 05:47 PM|LINK

  Hi,

   I searched for all the posts and tried the methods suggested there but no success, I still get the "The requested URI is invalid for this FTP command" error.

  Here is what I try to do:

   I am writing an application in VS.net 2005 to generate a file from the database, and later on I am going to upload this file to a remote server. Here is my code to upload to a remote server:

   

  Private Sub uploadFile()

  Dim ftp As FtpWebRequest = CType(FtpWebRequest.Create("ftp://remoteserver.com/foldername/"), FtpWebRequest)

  ftp.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("username", "password")

  ftp.KeepAlive = False

  ftp.UseBinary = True

  ftp.Proxy = Nothing

  ftp.UsePassive = False

  ftp.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile

  Dim objStream As New FileStream("C:\Textfile\ThisText.txt", FileMode.Open)

  Dim buffer(objStream.Length) As Byte

  objStream.Read(buffer, 0, objStream.Length)

  objStream.Close()

  objStream = Nothing

  Dim GetStream As Stream = ftp.GetRequestStream()

  GetStream.Write(buffer, 0, objStream.Length)

  GetStream.Close()

  ftp = Nothing

  End Sub

   

  Is there something wrong in my code? Thanks a lot for the help!!!

  According to http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1290688&SiteID=1&pageid=0#1291001 you need to specify the file name in your uri so that the server knows where to write it.

   

  Also, after the statement GetStream.Close(), you need to use:

  Dim response As FtpWebResponse = CType(ftp.GetResponse(), FtpWebResponse);

  This will send your request to the FTP Server. You can then use response.Status and response.StatusDescription to see what happened.

   

  Hope this helps.
