WebException

[repairman2003]

I am getting the following error when trying to call
GetRequestStream(): System.Net.WebException: The requested URI is
invalid for this FTP command..

Code where the exception catches:

...
FtpWebRequest uploadRequest =
(FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uploadUrl);
uploadRequest.Method =
WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;

// UploadFile is not supported through an Http proxy
// so we disable the proxy for this request.
uploadRequest.Proxy = null;

exception------> requestStream = uploadRequest.GetRequestStream();
fileStream = File.Open(fileName, FileMode.Open);
....

On my machine I set up a ftp server through IIS, allowed anonymous
connections and allowed read/write privileges. Anybody can shed some
light on this?

Well, what is the url that you are passing to the request?

I'm just accessing ftp://<myipaddress>/ it works fine if I open up
explorer and type in the address and create a file.

Are you using PASV or no when going through explorer? Also, are you
setting binary to true/false depending on how you want to upload the file?

Found the problem. the URI needed to include the filename in it, not
just the address of the server. Thanks for you help though
