Overview : Sometimes we need to upload some files to a web
server from our desktop application. The file upload task is pretty easy in web
applications but in desktop applications it is confusing because in websites we
upload the files on the same server where we are working but in desktop applications
we are working on a local computer and the server is come where else.
To overcome this issue I have created a function which will
do this task for you.
public static void Fileuploader(string
localpath, string username, string password)
{
var fileName = Path.GetFileName(localpath);
var request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://www.example.com/httpdocs/_sft0258/"
+ 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(localpath))
{
using (var
requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
fileStream.CopyTo(requestStream);
requestStream.Close();
}
}
var response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Console.WriteLine("Success:
{0}", response.StatusDescription);
response.Close();
}
By calling this function with correct parameters the upload
file task will be completed smoothly.
