Uploading a text file to a server

[dawson]

Hello, when running the code below, it returns the error message:

"The requested URI is invalid for this FTP command.".

I have confirmed the FTP URI is correct and working through a
standalone FTP client as well as windows explorer, the domain\username
and password are also valid auths.

I've also downloaded two seperate classes similiar to the code below,
from MSDN, and I'm getting this same error message whatever I do. Any
ideas? -- Thanks.

protected void Upload(string fileName)
{
Stream requestStream = null;
FileStream fileStream = null;
FtpWebResponse uploadResponse = null;
try
{
FtpWebRequest uploadRequest =

(FtpWebRequest) WebRequest.Crea te("ftp://ftp_web.mydomai n.com");
uploadRequest.M ethod = WebRequestMetho ds.Ftp.UploadFi le;
uploadRequest.C redentials = new
NetworkCredenti al(@"domain\use rname", "password") ;

// UploadFile is not supported through an Http proxy
// so we disable the proxy for this request.
uploadRequest.P roxy = null;

requestStream = uploadRequest.G etRequestStream ();
fileStream = File.Open(fileN ame, FileMode.Open);

byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bytesRead;
while (true)
{
bytesRead = fileStream.Read (buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
if (bytesRead == 0)
break;
requestStream.W rite(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}

// The request stream must be closed before getting
// the response.
requestStream.C lose();

uploadResponse =
(FtpWebResponse )uploadRequest. GetResponse();
lblPublishResul t.Text = "Content published live " +
System.DateTime .Now.ToString() ;
}
catch (UriFormatExcep tion ex)
{
lblPublishResul t.Text = ex.Message.ToSt ring();
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
lblPublishResul t.Text = ex.Message.ToSt ring();
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
lblPublishResul t.Text = ex.Message.ToSt ring();
}
finally
{
if (uploadResponse != null)
uploadResponse. Close();
if (fileStream != null)
fileStream.Clos e();
if (requestStream != null)
requestStream.C lose();
}
}

I needed to specify the name of the destination file when you upload,
as in:

FtpWebRequest uploadRequest = (FtpWebRequest) WebRequest.Crea te
("ftp://ftp_web.mydomai n.com/destination.txt ");
