Hello,

I'm trying to upload a file programatically and occasionally I get the
following error message.

Unable to write data to the transport connection: An established connection
was aborted by the software in your host machine.

Stack Trace
at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Write(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32
size)
at System.Net.FtpDataStream.Write(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32
size)
at HSMoveFiles.FTPClient.Upload(FileInfo fi, String targetFilename) in
C:\DOTNET\HSMoveFiles\FTPClient.cs:line 177

The source code for FTPClient.cs came from the following URL
http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/FtpClient.asp

The exception is been thrown when trying to write the Stream.
rs.Write(content, 0, dataRead)

Has anyone got any Idea why this might happen and how to solve it?

Exception is caught at line number 185. Throw ex;.

Here is the source code. See line number 177.

Hi,

Has anyone got any Idea why this might happen and how to solve it?

I have a similar message from time to time. IMO it happens at the closing of
the connection. usually you can just ignore them
 
The problem is only half of the file is uploaded when it happens.

Why does it happen?

Surely its a problem.

Thanks,
 
I had to add a retry logic to resolve it. I basically waited for 1 second
before retrying. I retry up 60 times. So far have not seen the error.

Thanks again,
