Hi,

C#
private void Download()
        {
            Uri url = new Uri("ftp://"+FtpAddress+"/filename");
            if (url.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeFtp)
            {
                FtpWebRequest objRequest = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(url);
                //Set credentials if required else comment this Credential code
                NetworkCredential objCredential = new NetworkCredential(sFtpUsername,sFtpPassword);
                objRequest.Credentials = objCredential;
                objRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
                FtpWebResponse objResponse = (FtpWebResponse)objRequest.GetResponse();
                StreamReader objReader = new StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream());
                byte[] buffer = new byte[16 * 1024];
                int len = 0;
                FileStream objFS = new FileStream("Test.jpg", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read);
                while ((len = objReader.BaseStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
                {
                    objFS.Write(buffer, 0, len);
                }
                objFS.Close();
                objResponse.Close();
            }
        }

Hello,

Try putting following lines immediately after line objRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;

objRequest.UsePassive = false;
objRequest.Proxy = null;

Regards,

Try bellow code, it works perfectly for me
C#
public static List<periodicalfile> GetFTPFilesPath(string ftpAddress, string UserName, string Password)
        {
           
            FtpWebRequest reqFTP = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpAddress);

            try
            {
                reqFTP.UsePassive = true;
                reqFTP.UseBinary = true;
                reqFTP.KeepAlive = false;
                reqFTP.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(UserName, Password);
                reqFTP.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory;
                FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)reqFTP.GetResponse();

                Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
                List<string> files = new List<string>();
                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
                while (!reader.EndOfStream)
                    files.Add(reader.ReadLine());
                reader.Close();
                responseStream.Dispose();
                
                //Loop through the resulting file names.
                string ftpPath = string.Empty;
                foreach (var fileName in files)
                {
                    var parentDirectory = "";
                    PeriodicalFile lstFile = new PeriodicalFile();
                    //If the filename has an extension, then it actually is 
                    //a file            
                    if (fileName.Contains(".zip"))
                    {
                        ftpPath = ftpAddress + fileName;
                        lstFile.FTPFileName = ftpPath;
                        listAllFTPFolder.Add(lstFile);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        //If the filename has no extension, then it is just a folder. 
                        //Run this method again as a recursion of the original:
                        parentDirectory += fileName + "/";
                        try
                        {
                            GetFTPFilesPath(ftpAddress + "/" + parentDirectory, UserName, Password);
                        }
                        catch (Exception ex)
                        {
                            ErrorLog.WriteLog("ftpFileProcessing", "GetFTPFilesPath(Else)", ex.Message, ex.StackTrace, "");
                        }
                    }
                }
                
            }
            

            catch (Exception excpt)
            {

                reqFTP.Abort();
                ErrorLog.WriteLog("ftpFileProcessing", "GetFTPFilesPath", excpt.Message, excpt.StackTrace, "");

            }


            return listAllFTPFolder;

What is the Visual studio version that you are using. I am using Visual studio 2010. Do I need to give any reference. When I paste the above code code compile time error.
Mukesh Ghosh 5-Jul-13 6:47am    
I also in VS 2010. Can you give me what kind of error you get? You might need to add some reference.
sacraj 5-Jul-13 6:51am    
the type or namespace name 'PeriodicalFile' could not be found
Try this,,,:)

C#
Uri url = new Uri("ftp://ftp.demo.com/file1.txt");
if (url.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeFtp)
{
    FtpWebRequest objRequest = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(url);
    //Set credentials if required else comment this Credential code
    NetworkCredential objCredential = new NetworkCredential("FTPUserName", "FTPPassword");
    objRequest.Credentials = objCredential;
    objRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
    FtpWebResponse objResponse = (FtpWebResponse)objRequest.GetResponse();
    StreamReader objReader = new StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream());
    byte[] buffer = new byte[16 * 1024];
    int len = 0;
    FileStream objFS = new FileStream(Server.MapPath("file1.txt"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read);
    while ((len = objReader.BaseStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
    {
        objFS.Write(buffer, 0, len);
    }
    objFS.Close();
    objResponse.Close();
}

Mukesh Ghosh 5-Jul-13 7:36am    
Well, there must be some restriction for Zip in FTP server, check for that.
sacraj 8-Jul-13 1:29am    
Yes, I had the problem with proxy of my server. Thanks for your help.
