WinSCP won't read files of FTP server due to access denial [duplicate]

I want to download file from FTP and open a download/save prompt in user's web browser, when the user clicks on a download button on ASP.NET C# page.
string strDownloadURL = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DownloadURL"];
string HostName = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["HostName"];
string strUser = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["BasicAuthenticationUser"];
string strPWD = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["BasicAuthenticationPWD"];
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(HostName + strFile);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(strUser, strPWD);
request.UsePassive = true;
request.UseBinary = true;
request.KeepAlive = false;
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
string fileName = #"c:\temp\" + strFile + "";
Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(fileName));
FileStream file = File.Create(fileName);
byte[] buffer = new byte[2 * 1024];
int read;
while ((read = responseStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0) { file.Write(buffer, 0, read); }
file.Close();
responseStream.Close();
response.Close();

So, assuming you're writing the FTP request's response stream down to the ASP.NET response stream, and want to trigger the download dialog in the browser, you'll want to set the Content-Disposition header in the response.
// note: since you are writing directly to client, I removed the `file` stream
// in your original code since we don't need to store the file locally...
// or so I am assuming
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + strFile);
byte[] buffer = new byte[2 * 1024];
int read;
while ((read = responseStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
{
Response.OutputStream.Write(buffer, 0, read);
}
responseStream.Close();
response.Close();

The answer by #moribvndvs is correct. But the code can be way simpler with use of WebClient.OpenRead and Stream.CopyTo:
var filename = "file.zip";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
var client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
var url = "ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/" + filename;
using (var ftpStream = client.OpenRead(url))
{
ftpStream.CopyTo(Response.OutputStream);
}
(where Response is ASP.NET HttpResponse).

Upload a .txt file to a website page from a C# win forms app [duplicate]

I try upload a file to an FTP-server with C#. The file is uploaded but with zero bytes.
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var dirPath = #"C:/Documents and Settings/sander.GD/Bureaublad/test/";
ftp ftpClient = new ftp("ftp://example.com/", "username", "password");
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(dirPath,"*.*");
var uploadPath = "/httpdocs/album";
foreach (string file in files)
{
ftpClient.createDirectory("/test");
ftpClient.upload(uploadPath + "/" + Path.GetFileName(file), file);
}
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(txtnaam.Text))
{
MessageBox.Show("Gelieve uw naam in te geven !");
}
}

The existing answers are valid, but why re-invent the wheel and bother with lower level WebRequest types while WebClient already implements FTP uploading neatly:
using (var client = new WebClient())
{
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpUsername, ftpPassword);
client.UploadFile("ftp://host/path.zip", WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile, localFile);
}

Easiest way
The most trivial way to upload a file to an FTP server using .NET framework is using WebClient.UploadFile method:
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
var url = "ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip";
client.UploadFile(url, #"C:\local\path\file.zip");
Advanced options
If you need a greater control, that WebClient does not offer (like TLS/SSL encryption, ascii/text transfer mode, active mode, transfer resuming, progress monitoring, etc), use FtpWebRequest. Easy way is to just copy a FileStream to an FTP stream using Stream.CopyTo:
var url = "ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip";
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
using (Stream fileStream = File.OpenRead(#"C:\local\path\file.zip"))
using (Stream ftpStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
fileStream.CopyTo(ftpStream);
}
Progress monitoring
If you need to monitor an upload progress, you have to copy the contents by chunks yourself:
var url = "ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip";
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
using (Stream fileStream = File.OpenRead(#"C:\local\path\file.zip"))
using (Stream ftpStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[10240];
int read;
while ((read = fileStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
{
ftpStream.Write(buffer, 0, read);
Console.WriteLine("Uploaded {0} bytes", fileStream.Position);
}
}

.NET 5 Guide
async Task<FtpStatusCode> FtpFileUploadAsync(string ftpUrl, string userName, string password, string filePath)
{
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(ftpUrl);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(userName, password);
using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
await fileStream.CopyToAsync(requestStream);
}
using (FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)await request.GetResponseAsync())
{

}
}
.NET Framework
public void UploadFtpFile(string folderName, string fileName)
{
FtpWebRequest request;
string folderName;
string fileName;
string absoluteFileName = Path.GetFileName(fileName);
request = WebRequest.Create(new Uri(string.Format(#"ftp://{0}/{1}/{2}", "127.0.0.1", folderName, absoluteFileName))) as FtpWebRequest;
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
request.UseBinary = 1;
request.UsePassive = 1;
request.KeepAlive = 1;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pass);
request.ConnectionGroupName = "group";
using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(fileName))
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
fs.Close();
Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
requestStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
requestStream.Flush();
requestStream.Close();
}
}
How to use
UploadFtpFile("testFolder", "E:\\filesToUpload\\test.img");
use this in your foreach
and you only need to create folder one time
to create a folder
request = WebRequest.Create(new Uri(string.Format(#"ftp://{0}/{1}/", "127.0.0.1", "testFolder"))) as FtpWebRequest;
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.MakeDirectory;
FtpWebResponse ftpResponse = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

The following works for me:
public virtual void Send(string fileName, byte[] file)
{
ByteArrayToFile(fileName, file);
var request = (FtpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(new Uri(ServerUrl + fileName));
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
request.UsePassive = false;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(UserName, Password);
request.ContentLength = file.Length;
var requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
requestStream.Write(file, 0, file.Length);
requestStream.Close();
var response = (FtpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();
if (response != null)
response.Close();
}
You can't read send the file parameter in your code as it is only the filename.
Use the following:
byte[] bytes = File.ReadAllBytes(dir + file);
To get the file so you can pass it to the Send method.

public static void UploadFileToFtp(string url, string filePath, string username, string password)
{
var fileName = Path.GetFileName(filePath);
var request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url + fileName);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
request.UsePassive = true;
request.UseBinary = true;
request.KeepAlive = false;
using (var fileStream = File.OpenRead(filePath))
{
using (var requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
fileStream.CopyTo(requestStream);
requestStream.Close();
}
}
var response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Console.WriteLine("Upload done: {0}", response.StatusDescription);
response.Close();
}

In the first example must change those to:
requestStream.Flush();
requestStream.Close();
First flush and after that close.

This works for me,this method will SFTP a file to a location within your network.
It uses SSH.NET.2013.4.7 library.One can just download it for free.
//Secure FTP
public void SecureFTPUploadFile(string destinationHost,int port,string username,string password,string source,string destination)
{
ConnectionInfo ConnNfo = new ConnectionInfo(destinationHost, port, username, new PasswordAuthenticationMethod(username, password));
var temp = destination.Split('/');
string destinationFileName = temp[temp.Count() - 1];
string parentDirectory = destination.Remove(destination.Length - (destinationFileName.Length + 1), destinationFileName.Length + 1);
using (var sshclient = new SshClient(ConnNfo))
{
sshclient.Connect();
using (var cmd = sshclient.CreateCommand("mkdir -p " + parentDirectory + " && chmod +rw " + parentDirectory))
{
cmd.Execute();
}
sshclient.Disconnect();
}
using (var sftp = new SftpClient(ConnNfo))
{
sftp.Connect();
sftp.ChangeDirectory(parentDirectory);
using (var uplfileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(source))
{
sftp.UploadFile(uplfileStream, destinationFileName, true);
}
sftp.Disconnect();
}
}

Best way I've found is FluentFtp
You can find the repo here:
https://github.com/robinrodricks/FluentFTP
and the quickstart example here:
https://github.com/robinrodricks/FluentFTP/wiki/Quick-Start-Example.
And actually the WebRequest class recommended by a few people here, is not recommended by Microsoft anymore, check out this page:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.webrequest?view=net-5.0
// create an FTP client and specify the host, username and password
// (delete the credentials to use the "anonymous" account)
FtpClient client = new FtpClient("123.123.123.123", "david", "pass123");
// connect to the server and automatically detect working FTP settings
client.AutoConnect();
// upload a file and retry 3 times before giving up
client.RetryAttempts = 3;
client.UploadFile(#"C:\MyVideo.mp4", "/htdocs/big.txt",
FtpRemoteExists.Overwrite, false, FtpVerify.Retry);
// disconnect! good bye!
client.Disconnect();

I have observed that -
FtpwebRequest is missing.
As the target is FTP, so the NetworkCredential required.
I have prepared a method that works like this, you can replace the value of the variable ftpurl with the parameter TargetDestinationPath. I had tested this method on winforms application :
private void UploadProfileImage(string TargetFileName, string TargetDestinationPath, string FiletoUpload)
{
//Get the Image Destination path
string imageName = TargetFileName; //you can comment this
string imgPath = TargetDestinationPath;
string ftpurl = "ftp://downloads.abc.com/downloads.abc.com/MobileApps/SystemImages/ProfileImages/" + imgPath;
string ftpusername = krayknot_DAL.clsGlobal.FTPUsername;
string ftppassword = krayknot_DAL.clsGlobal.FTPPassword;
string fileurl = FiletoUpload;
FtpWebRequest ftpClient = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpurl);
ftpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(ftpusername, ftppassword);
ftpClient.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
ftpClient.UseBinary = true;
ftpClient.KeepAlive = true;
System.IO.FileInfo fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(fileurl);
ftpClient.ContentLength = fi.Length;
byte[] buffer = new byte[4097];
int bytes = 0;
int total_bytes = (int)fi.Length;
System.IO.FileStream fs = fi.OpenRead();
System.IO.Stream rs = ftpClient.GetRequestStream();
while (total_bytes > 0)
{
bytes = fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
rs.Write(buffer, 0, bytes);
total_bytes = total_bytes - bytes;
}
//fs.Flush();
fs.Close();
rs.Close();
FtpWebResponse uploadResponse = (FtpWebResponse)ftpClient.GetResponse();
string value = uploadResponse.StatusDescription;
uploadResponse.Close();
}

Upload and download a file to/from FTP server in C#/.NET

I am using .NET 4 C#. I am trying to upload and then download a ZIP file to (my) server.
For uploading I have
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(MyUrl);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
request.EnableSsl = false;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(MyLogin, MyPassword);
byte[] fileContents = null;
using (StreamReader sourceStream = new StreamReader(LocalFilePath))
{
fileContents = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sourceStream.ReadToEnd());
}
request.ContentLength = fileContents.Length;
using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
requestStream.Write(fileContents, 0, fileContents.Length);
}
FtpWebResponse response = null;
response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
response.Close();
}
This seems to work, in that I get a file on the server of the right size.
1) How do I stream it, rather than load it into memory first? I will be uploading very large files.
And for downloading I have
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
string HtmlResult = String.Empty;
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(remoteFile);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
request.EnableSsl = false;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(MyLogin, MyPassword);
using (FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
using (Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream())
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream))
using (FileStream writer = new FileStream(localFilename, FileMode.Create))
{
long length = response.ContentLength;
int bufferSize = 2048;
int readCount;
byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
readCount = responseStream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
while (readCount > 0)
{
writer.Write(buffer, 0, readCount);
readCount = responseStream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
}
}
}
2) Everything seems to work ... except when I try to unzip the downloaded ZIP file I get an invalid ZIP file.

Upload
The most trivial way to upload a binary file to an FTP server using .NET framework is using WebClient.UploadFile:
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
client.UploadFile(
"ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip", #"C:\local\path\file.zip");
If you need a greater control, that WebClient does not offer (like TLS/SSL encryption, ascii/text transfer mode, transfer resuming, etc), use FtpWebRequest. Easy way is to just copy a FileStream to FTP stream using Stream.CopyTo:
FtpWebRequest request =
(FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip");
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
using (Stream fileStream = File.OpenRead(#"C:\local\path\file.zip"))
using (Stream ftpStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
fileStream.CopyTo(ftpStream);
}
If you need to monitor an upload progress, you have to copy the contents by chunks yourself:
FtpWebRequest request =
(FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip");
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
using (Stream fileStream = File.OpenRead(#"C:\local\path\file.zip"))
using (Stream ftpStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[10240];
int read;
while ((read = fileStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
{
ftpStream.Write(buffer, 0, read);
Console.WriteLine("Uploaded {0} bytes", fileStream.Position);
}
}

Download
The most trivial way to download a binary file from an FTP server using .NET framework is using WebClient.DownloadFile:
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
client.DownloadFile(
"ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip", #"C:\local\path\file.zip");
If you need a greater control, that WebClient does not offer (like TLS/SSL encryption, ascii/text transfer mode, resuming transfers, etc), use FtpWebRequest. Easy way is to just copy an FTP response stream to FileStream using Stream.CopyTo:
FtpWebRequest request =
(FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip");
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
using (Stream ftpStream = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
using (Stream fileStream = File.Create(#"C:\local\path\file.zip"))
{
ftpStream.CopyTo(fileStream);
}

How to copy a file on an FTP server?

How do you copy a file on an FTP server? My goal is to copy ftp://www.mysite.com/test.jpg to ftp://www.mysite.com/testcopy.jpg. To rename a file, I would use:
var request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://www.mysite.com/test.jpg");
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pass);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.Rename;
request.RenameTo = "testrename.jpg"
request.GetResponse().Close();
FtpWebResponse resp = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
However, there is no Method for copying files. How would you do copy a file?

Try this:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
CopyFile("countrylist.csv", "MySample.csv", "username", "password#");
}
public static bool CopyFile(string fileName, string FileToCopy, string userName, string password)
{
try
{
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://ftp.mysite.net/" + fileName);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(userName, password);
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
Upload("ftp://ftp.mysite.net/" + FileToCopy, ToByteArray(responseStream), userName, password);
responseStream.Close();
return true;
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}
public static Byte[] ToByteArray(Stream stream)
{
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
byte[] chunk = new byte[4096];
int bytesRead;
while ((bytesRead = stream.Read(chunk, 0, chunk.Length)) > 0)
{
ms.Write(chunk, 0, bytesRead);
}
return ms.ToArray();
}
public static bool Upload(string FileName, byte[] Image, string FtpUsername, string FtpPassword)
{
try
{
System.Net.FtpWebRequest clsRequest = (System.Net.FtpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create(FileName);
clsRequest.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(FtpUsername, FtpPassword);
clsRequest.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
System.IO.Stream clsStream = clsRequest.GetRequestStream();
clsStream.Write(Image, 0, Image.Length);
clsStream.Close();
clsStream.Dispose();
return true;
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}
This downloads the file to a stream, and then uploads it.

FtpWebRequest is a lightweight class. Microsoft felt it should be used by simple client to download and delete the files once the client is finish.

I guess you can't really do this with FTP. What you can do is download the file you want to copy and then upload it with a new name. For example:
try
{
WebClient request = new WebClient();
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pass);
byte[] data = request.DownloadData(host);
MemoryStream file = new MemoryStream(data);
Upload(data);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
...
private void Upload(byte[] buffer)
{
try
{
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(newname);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pass);
Stream reqStream = request.GetRequestStream();
reqStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
reqStream.Close();
var resp = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}

In our project we did someting like this
// pass parameters according to your need,
// the below code is done in a hard coded manner for clarity
public void Copy()
{
// from where you want to copy
var downloadRequest = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://www.mysite.com/test.jpg");
downloadRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("userName", "passWord");
downloadRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
var ftpWebResponse = (FtpWebResponse)downloadRequest.GetResponse();
var downloadResponse = ftpWebResponse.GetResponseStream();
int buffLength = 2048;
byte[] byteBuffer = new byte[buffLength];
// bytes read from download stream.
// from documentation: When overridden in a derived class, reads a sequence of bytes from the
// current stream and advances the position within the stream by the number of bytes read.
int bytesRead = downloadResponse.Read(byteBuffer, 0, buffLength);
// the place where you want the file to go
var uploadRequest = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://www.mysite.com/testCopy.jpg");
uploadRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("userName", "passWord");
uploadRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
var uploadStream = uploadRequest.GetRequestStream();
if (bytesRead > 0)
{
while (bytesRead > 0)
{
uploadStream.Write(byteBuffer, 0, bytesRead);
bytesRead = downloadResponse.Read(byteBuffer, 0, buffLength);
}
}
uploadStream.Close();
uploadStream.Dispose();
downloadResponse.Close();
ftpWebResponse.Close();
((IDisposable)ftpWebResponse).Dispose();
}

Upload file on FTP

I want to upload file from one server to another FTP server and following is my code to upload file but it is throwing an error as:
The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).
This my code:
string CompleteDPath = "ftp URL";
string UName = "UserName";
string PWD = "Password";
WebRequest reqObj = WebRequest.Create(CompleteDPath + FileName);
reqObj.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
reqObj.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(UName, PWD);
FileStream streamObj = System.IO.File.OpenRead(Server.MapPath(FileName));
byte[] buffer = new byte[streamObj.Length + 1];
streamObj.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
streamObj.Close();
streamObj = null;
reqObj.GetRequestStream().Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
reqObj = null;
Can you please tell me where i am going wrong?

Please make sure your ftp path is set as shown below.
string CompleteDPath = "ftp://www.example.com/wwwroot/videos/";
string FileName = "sample.mp4";
WebRequest reqObj = WebRequest.Create(CompleteDPath + FileName);
The following script work great with me for uploading files and videos to another servier via ftp.
FtpWebRequest ftpClient = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpurl + "" + username + "_" + filename);
ftpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(ftpusername, ftppassword);
ftpClient.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
ftpClient.UseBinary = true;
ftpClient.KeepAlive = true;
System.IO.FileInfo fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(fileurl);
ftpClient.ContentLength = fi.Length;
byte[] buffer = new byte[4097];
int bytes = 0;
int total_bytes = (int)fi.Length;
System.IO.FileStream fs = fi.OpenRead();
System.IO.Stream rs = ftpClient.GetRequestStream();
while (total_bytes > 0)
{
bytes = fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
rs.Write(buffer, 0, bytes);
total_bytes = total_bytes - bytes;
}
//fs.Flush();
fs.Close();
rs.Close();
FtpWebResponse uploadResponse = (FtpWebResponse)ftpClient.GetResponse();
value = uploadResponse.StatusDescription;
uploadResponse.Close();

Here are sample code to upload file on FTP Server
string filename = Server.MapPath("file1.txt");
string ftpServerIP = "ftp.demo.com/";
string ftpUserName = "dummy";
string ftpPassword = "dummy";
FileInfo objFile = new FileInfo(filename);
FtpWebRequest objFTPRequest;
// Create FtpWebRequest object
objFTPRequest = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri("ftp://" + ftpServerIP + "/" + objFile.Name));
// Set Credintials
objFTPRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpUserName, ftpPassword);
// By default KeepAlive is true, where the control connection is
// not closed after a command is executed.
objFTPRequest.KeepAlive = false;
// Set the data transfer type.
objFTPRequest.UseBinary = true;
// Set content length
objFTPRequest.ContentLength = objFile.Length;
// Set request method
objFTPRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
// Set buffer size
int intBufferLength = 16 * 1024;

You can also use the higher-level WebClient type to do FTP stuff with much cleaner code:
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpUsername, ftpPassword);
client.UploadFile("ftp://ftpserver.com/target.zip", "STOR", localFilePath);
}

In case you're still having issues here's what got me past all this.
I was getting the same error in-spite of the fact that I could perfectly see the file in the directory I was trying to upload - ie: I was overwriting a file.
My ftp url looked like:
// ftp://www.mywebsite.com/testingdir/myData.xml
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://www.mywebsite.com/testingdir/myData.xml"
So, my credentials use my tester username and PW;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential ("tester", "testerpw");
Well, my "tester" ftp account is set to "ftp://www.mywebsite.com/testingdir" but when I actually ftp [say from explorer] I just put in "ftp://www.mywebsite.com" and log in with my tester credentials and automatically get sent to "testingdir".
So, to make this work in C# I wound up using the url - ftp://www.mywebsite.com/myData.xml
Provided my tester accounts credentials and everything worked fine.

Please make sure your URL that you pass to WebRequest.Create has this format:
ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip
There are easier ways to upload a file using .NET framework.
Easiest way
The most trivial way to upload a file to an FTP server using .NET framework is using WebClient.UploadFile method:
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
client.UploadFile(
"ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip", #"C:\local\path\file.zip");
Advanced options
If you need a greater control, that WebClient does not offer (like TLS/SSL encryption, ascii/text transfer mode, transfer resuming, etc), use FtpWebRequest, like you do. But you can make the code way simpler and more efficient by using Stream.CopyTo:
FtpWebRequest request =
(FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip");
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
using (Stream fileStream = File.OpenRead(#"C:\local\path\file.zip"))
using (Stream ftpStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
fileStream.CopyTo(ftpStream);
}
For even more options, including progress monitoring and uploading whole folder, see:
Upload file to FTP using C#

Here is the Solution !!!!!!
To Upload all the files from Local directory(ex:D:\Documents) to FTP url (ex: ftp:\{ip address}\{sub dir name})
public string UploadFile(string FileFromPath, string ToFTPURL, string SubDirectoryName, string FTPLoginID, string
FTPPassword)
{
try
{
string FtpUrl = string.Empty;
FtpUrl = ToFTPURL + "/" + SubDirectoryName; //Complete FTP Url path
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(FileFromPath, "*.*"); //To get each file name from FileFromPath
foreach (string file in files)
{
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(FtpUrl + "/" + Path.GetFileName(file));
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(FTPLoginID, FTPPassword);
request.UsePassive = true;
request.UseBinary = true;
request.KeepAlive = false;
FileStream stream = File.OpenRead(FileFromPath + "\\" + Path.GetFileName(file));
byte[] buffer = new byte[stream.Length];
stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
stream.Close();
Stream reqStream = request.GetRequestStream();
reqStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
reqStream.Close();
}
return "Success";
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
return "ex";
}
}

public void UploadImageToftp()
{
string server = "ftp://111.61.28.128/Example/"; //server path
string name = #"E:\Apache\htdocs\visa\image.png"; //image path
string Imagename= Path.GetFileName(name);
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(new Uri(string.Format("{0}{1}", server, Imagename)));
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
Stream ftpStream = request.GetRequestStream();
FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(name);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int byteRead = 0;
do
{
byteRead = fs.Read(buffer, 0, 1024);
ftpStream.Write(buffer, 0, byteRead);
}
while (byteRead != 0);
fs.Close();
ftpStream.Close();
MessageBox.Show("Image Upload successfully!!");
