I want to monitor a directory and FTP any files that are place there to an FTP location. does anyone know how to do this in c#?
Thanks
EDIT: Anyone know of a good client that can monitor a directory and FTP and files placed in it?
I combination of the System.IO.FileSystemWatcher and System.Net.FtpWebRequest/FtpWebResponse classes.
We need more information to be more specific.
When used in conjunction with the FileSystemWatcher, this code is a quick and dirty way to upload a file to a server.
public static void Upload(string ftpServer, string directory, string file)
{
//ftp command will be sketchy without this
Environment.CurrentDirectory = directory;
//create a batch file for the ftp command
string commands = "\n\nput " + file + "\nquit\n";
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("f.cmd");
sw.WriteLine(commands);
sw.Close();
//start the ftp command with the generated script file
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("ftp");
psi.Arguments = "-s:f.cmd " + ftpServer;
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo = psi;
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
File.Delete(file);
File.Delete("f.cmd");
}

I am using Doscan.exe of SEP to scan files before uploading but there is no provision provided by SEP to generate a separate log file for each scanned file, so that's why I am not able to make sure whether the file is ok or not for uploading.
If anyone has a way to check this thing then please let me know.
I am using version 14.2
Thanks.
ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo();
start.Arguments = " /ScanFile C:\\Users\\New Text Document (2).txt";
start.FileName = #"C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\14.2.3332.1000.105\Bin\DoScan.exe";
start.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
start.CreateNoWindow = true;
using (Process proc = Process.Start(start))
{
proc.WaitForExit();
}
I would like to import to registry a .reg file that exist in project resources.
The way to import a reg file uses the path to the reg file:
Process proc = new Process();
proc = Process.Start("regedit.exe", "/s " + "path\to\file.reg");
Is it possible to do so with a file from resources? how do I get its path?
If it is in the project folder. i-e. The folder in which the project is runnung. you can access it directly : Process.Start("regedit.exe", "/s " + "Filename.reg");
you can get the current path by using
string path =System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory; // this will give u the path for debug folder
or
string projectPath= Path.GetDirectoryName(Path.GetDirectoryName(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())); //This will give u the project path.
you can use both and navigate arround to get the path to your desired folder. eg if you want to access a file in the Resource folder inside the project folder u can use projectPath+"\\Resource\\filename.reg"
If the file is embedded resource (and as such is not created on disk), it is best to read it like this and save it to a temporary file using:
var path = System.IO.Path.ChangeExtension(System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName(), "reg");
Process.Start(path);
It may not be necessary to change the extension if you don't start the file directly but use Process.Start("regedit", "/s " + path) like you described in your question. Keep in mind that the file path should be escaped so it's parsed properly as the command line argument, temporary file path, though, will not contain spaces, so it should be okay.
This is not tested code, but you get the steps I hope:
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "regedit.exe";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "/s";
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
proc.Start();
StreamWriter stdin = myProcess.StandardInput;
var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var resourceName = "<regfile>";
using (Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(resourceName))
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
stdin.Write(reader.ReadToEnd());
}
I am running c# application in service mode. And i am using pdf2swf tool to convert odf to swf format. Images saved in pdf is converting. But if any test adding to pdf is not getting converted in service mode.
But when run as UI mode(Consoleapplication.exe) then everything is getting converted.
string inputFileName = this.Filename;
string outputFileName = inputFileName.Replace("pdf", "swf");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.AppendFormat("{0} -o {1}", inputFileName, outputFileName);
string executingDirPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase).Replace("file:\\", "");
string dataDirectoryPath = Path.Combine(executingDirPath, "pdf2swf.exe");
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo(dataDirectoryPath, sb.ToString());
psi.UseShellExecute = false;
System.Diagnostics.Process pdf2swf = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
pdf2swf.StartInfo = psi;
pdf2swf.Start();
pdf2swf.WaitForExit();
pdf2swf.Close();
pdf2swf.Dispose();

Direct using process to start pdf2swf.ext maybe had some privilege problems.I used another way to solve this problem,write a batch file,then running the batch file by process.
Batch file sample:
c:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\SWFTools\
pdf2swf.exe -f -T 9 -t "%1" -o "%2"
Code in program:
Process p = new Process();
string path = basePath + "/plugin/ConvertToSwf.bat";//batch file path
ProcessStartInfo pi = new ProcessStartInfo(path, filePath + " " + swfPath);//passing the file path and converted file path to batch file
pi.UseShellExecute = false;
pi.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.StartInfo = pi;
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
I faced a similar problem recently. I solved the issue by adding a separate console application(Consoleapplication.exe) with administrative-rights that runs on my server without shell.
Also, try to upgrade to the newest version of pdf2swf.
FYI. I recently had this problem (thought it was fonts not being embedded but actually was missing all text in converted swf). What fixed it for me was to set:
pi.UseShellExecute = false;
AND set the working directory;
pi.WorkingDirectory = "C:\windows\temp"; // path where read & write is
I have a small app that writes to an excel file.
I would like for the program to immediately open the file after it has finished saving it.
How to go about doing just that?
Using Epplus to handle the excel.
if u just want to open file in C# u can just import
using System.Diagnostics;
then u can run process for "xlsx" file with Process.Start(string path);
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Process.Start(#"C:\your.xlsx");
}
}
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = "excel.exe";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "myfyle.xls";
process.Start();
I am writing the batch file and executing it through C# program.
Writing Batch file :
I will get the Path, Executable name and arguments from app.config and write them to a batch file.
Executing Batch file :
Once I write the batch file I pass the file name to below function which executes the batch file to launches an application.
Problem :
My program will write a lot of batch files which are executed immediately after each and every file is written. I find that, some times the applications are not started which means that batch files are not executed. I didn't even get any error messages or prompts for this failure of batch file execution.
Expected solution :
Any problem in executing the batch file, I should be able to log it or prompt an error.
Code that executes Batch File :
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo procinfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe");
procinfo.UseShellExecute = false;
procinfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
procinfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
procinfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
System.Diagnostics.Process process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(procinfo);
System.IO.StreamReader stream = System.IO.File.OpenText(BatchPath + LatestFileName);
System.IO.StreamReader sroutput = process.StandardOutput;
System.IO.StreamWriter srinput = process.StandardInput;
while (stream.Peek() != -1)
{
srinput.WriteLine(stream.ReadLine());
}
Log.Flow_writeToLogFile("Executed .Bat file : " + LatestFileName);
stream.Close();
process.Close();
srinput.Close();
sroutput.Close();
I'm not sure where your problem lies specifically but I've had no problems with the following code:
using (FileStream file = new FileStream("xyz.cmd", FileMode.Create)) {
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(file)) {
sw.Write("#echo ====================\n");
sw.Close();
}
}
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.FileName = "xyz.cmd";
//p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.Start();
//String s = p.StandardOutput.ReadLine();
//while (s != null) {
// MessageBox.Show(s);
// s = p.StandardOutput.ReadLine();
//}
p.WaitForExit();
Obviously that's been cut down a bit for the purposes of hiding my "secret sauce" but that's code currently being used in production without issues.
I do have one question. Why don't you execute the cmd file directly rather than running cmd.exe?
Probably the first thing I'd do is to print out the BatchPath + LatestFileName value to see if you're creating any weirdly named files which would prevent cmd.exe from running them.
