If No, and Now you want to do the same or want to keep it for the future then this post is best for you.
I would recomment you to add it to your favorites for Future reference.
For simplicity, I will use Local Computer as FTP Server.
Step1: Create a FTP Folder. go to My Compute then C:\inetput\ftproot\ and then create a Folder which will be treated as FTP folder. Note: IIS should be installed.
Step2: Save any TEXT File let say basefile.txt which has some text.
Step3: Open the Visual Studio 2005/8/10 add a Console application.
Step4: Add a .cs File and rename the file as FTPFileTransfer.cs
Step5 Add Following code.
public class FTPFileTransfer
{
public FtpStatusCode Download(string destinationFile, Uri downloadUri, string userName, string password)
{
try
{
// Check if the URI is and FTP site
if (downloadUri.Scheme != Uri.UriSchemeFtp)
{
throw new ArgumentException("Invalid FTP site");
}
// Set up the request
FtpWebRequest ftpRequest = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(downloadUri);
// Credentials for FTP URI
ftpRequest.Credentials =
new NetworkCredential(userName, password);
// Set method as file download.
ftpRequest.Method =
WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
// get the response object
FtpWebResponse ftpResponse = (FtpWebResponse)ftpRequest.GetResponse();
Stream stream = null;
StreamReader reader = null;
StreamWriter writer = null;
// get the file as a stream from the response
object and write it as a file stream to the local disk
object and write it as a file stream to the local disk
try
{
stream = ftpResponse.GetResponseStream();
reader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.UTF8);
writer = new StreamWriter(destinationFile, false);
writer.Write(reader.ReadToEnd());
return ftpResponse.StatusCode;
}
finally
{
// Close streams
stream.Close();
reader.Close();
writer.Close();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
}
Now you can create the object of this class and Call Download Method.
