  Upload file to a FTP server in the folder other than the default folder

  Oct 10, 2011 03:43 AM|LINK

  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

  Thanks,
