Would like to be able to upload this file as ascii on the iseries instead of it coming in as binary. is there a way to do this?
public static void SendFile(string sourcePath, string server, string userName, string password, string remoteFolder, string remoteFileName)
{
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
string dest = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "ftp://{0}/{1}/{2}", server, remoteFolder, remoteFileName);
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(userName, password);

You could use FTP

there are also free ftp wrapper classes out there. Google them.

Use the FtpWebRequest Class (System.Net)[^].

Then you can set the FtpWebRequest.UseBinary Property (System.Net)[^].

Using FtpWebRequest as a starting point I did find this code.
public static void SaveFile(string Content, string FileName, Uri FTPServer, string UserName, string Password)
{
try
{
Uri TempURI = new Uri(Path.Combine(FTPServer.ToString(), FileName));
FtpWebRequest FTPRequest = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(TempURI);
FTPRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(UserName, Password);
FTPRequest.KeepAlive = false;
FTPRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
FTPRequest.UseBinary = false;
FTPRequest.ContentLength = Content.Length;
FTPRequest.Proxy = null;
using (Stream TempStream = FTPRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding TempEncoding = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] TempBytes = TempEncoding.GetBytes(Content);
TempStream.Write(TempBytes, 0, TempBytes.Length);
}
FTPRequest.GetResponse();
}
catch { }
}

Got me going in the right direction for loading files to the iSeries.
