private static void UploadViaFtp(string pWebsitePath, string pFileName)
{
string sFtpaddress = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ftpaddress"].ToString();
string sFtpusrname = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ftpusrname"].ToString();
string sFtppwd = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ftppwd"].ToString();

FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(sFtpaddress + "/" + pFileName);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(sFtpusrname, sFtppwd);

StreamReader sourceStream = new StreamReader(pWebsitePath + pFileName);
byte[] fileContents = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sourceStream.ReadToEnd());
sourceStream.Close();
request.ContentLength = fileContents.Length;

Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
requestStream.Write(fileContents, 0, fileContents.Length);
requestStream.Close();

FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

Console.WriteLine("Upload File Complete, status {0}", response.StatusDescription);

response.Close();
