The requested FTP command is not supported when using HTTP proxy

[chris]

Hi,

I am trying to upload files on FTP and used the code below:

Dim request As FtpWebRequest

request =
WebRequest.Crea te("ftp://ftp...../test.txt")
request.Method = WebRequestMetho ds.Ftp.UploadFi le
request.Credent ials = New
NetworkCredenti al(ftp_site_use r_name, ftp_site_passwo rd)

Dim sourceStream As New
StreamReader("C :\Documents and Settings\...... .\text.txt")

Dim filecontents() As Byte =
Encoding.UTF8.G etBytes(sourceS tream.ReadToEnd ())

sourceStream.Cl ose()
request.Content Length = filecontents.Le ngth

Dim requestStream As Stream =
request.GetRequ estStream()
requestStream.W rite(fileconten ts, 0,
filecontents.Le ngth)
requestStream.C lose()

When I define to use proxy (in Interent options/connections/LAN
settings) I receive an error "The requested FTP command is not
supported when using HTTP proxy". When I define NOT to use proxy, the
file is transfered on FTP.

1. Is there a way for defining to bypass the proxy for this ftp
connection ?

2. Can I create subdirectories on FTP from code ?

3. StreamReader reads TXT files. How can I read ZIP files for uploading
on FTP ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Chirs,

I am having the same problem. Did you find a solution?

I am new in asp and I also have problems with this exception:

"The requested URI is invalid for this FTP command"

I paste the URI in windows explorer and I don't have any problems.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot

Try request.Proxy = nothing;
