ftp from ASP.Net 2.0

[Guest]

I believe that I have spent days looking for a "HOW TO" on developing an ftp
process from an ASP.net 2.0 page that utilizes a "FileUpLoad" control.

Can I not just call the "SaveAS"(ftp_site, username, password + filename)
method? If I can't do this someone please point me in the direction of how
this task can get done.

Is there more to it? I don't know... that is why I am posting a call for help.

Try :
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.ftpwebrequest(VS.80).aspx
(FtpWebRequest)

Just to make sure, FTP doesn't have anything to do with the FileUpload
control : the file will uploaded to the server and then the server will save
the file to some other server using FTP.

Thank you Juan for the link.
I received this error at the requeststream = uploadrequest.getstream
"ex.Message = "The requested URI is invalid for this FTP command."

This is how I populated the upload sub
If Me.File1.Value <> "" Then
Try
Upload(Me.File1.Value, "ftp://new file server.com/")
Catch ex As Exception
Me.txtSubmittedFile.Text = "Error: " & ex.Message.ToString
End Try
End If
If I need to pass the username and password would that cause the error?

If you need to pass a username and password, you can pass them with :

WebClient request = new WebClient();
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential ("username", "password");

To extend this process, is it possible to loop through the reader(in the list
portion of the FTPSample kit) to create something like a treeview, that would
list the folders and files on an FTP server, should they want to download a
file from the server to their local machines?

Please point me to the next level.

You'll find all the info you need to build your client at :

There's a fairly good sample at :

There's a basic client sample at :

Juan, Using the Microsoft link example, I run into an issue on the "Upload"
where the "SendCommand("PASV")". The "ReadLine" function errors out on the
following
line
m_iBytes = m_objClientSocket.Receive(m_aBuffer, m_aBuffer.Length, 0)
and returns a error of "An unknown, invalid, or unsupported option or level
was specified in getsocketopt or setsocketopt call"

Any idea what this is about? I am running this on an ASP.net 2.0 form that
just has a button to start this program.
