If you are trying to upload then
Try using EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp
Just add edtFTPnet.dll to you project.

Sample Code

C#

using EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp;

//Declare as Ftp
private FTPConnection FTP;


//To Connect to ftp
private bool TryConnect()
	{
		bool ret = false;
		try {
			FTP = new FTPConnection();
			FTP.ServerAddress = "192.168.1.13";//Server IP address
			FTP.UserName = "username";//server user name
			FTP.Password = "******";//Password
			FTP.ConnectMode = FTPConnectMode.PASV;
			FTP.Connect();
			ret = FTP.IsConnected;

		} catch (Exception ex) {
		}
		return ret;
	}

//To Send File
if (TryConnect()) 
{
FTP.UploadFile("Directory", "File Name", false);
}

The upfront answer is - you can't do it.
FTP does not allow a file to be directly copied from host A to host B.

What you can do is download the file to your machine from host A and then upload it to host B.
In this case, Solution 2, by Winston is one good option, and if you want other example of code, let me know.

Cheers,
Edo
