FTPWebRequest Problem

[Ian Hannah]

If I create an MFC application in Visual Studio 6 using the following code:

CInternetSessio n inet_session;
CFtpConnection *ftp_connection ;

ftp_connection = inet_session.Ge tFtpConnection( "Integration300 ", "guest",
"ihannah", 21,TRUE);

CString CurrentDirector y;
ftp_connection->GetCurrentDire ctory(CurrentDi rectory);

then the FTP connection is made and works as expected.

If I then try and use the following code (C#, Visual Studio 2005) I always
get a timeout:

// Get the object used to communicate with the server.
FtpWebRequest request =
(FtpWebRequest) WebRequest.Crea te(@"ftp://integration300" );
request.Credent ials = new NetworkCredenti al("guest","iha nnah");
request.Proxy = null;
request.EnableS sl = false;
request.UseBina ry = true;
request.KeepAli ve = false;
request.Method = WebRequestMetho ds.Ftp.ListDire ctoryDetails;

FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse )request.GetRes ponse();
response.Close( );

Does anyone have any idea why this is the case?

Ian,

You are specifying passive mode in the call to GetFtpConnectio n. For
the FtpWebRequest class, you should set the UsePassive property to true so
that you make the connection to the server, and not the other way around
(you are probably behind a firewall, which is why it didn't work).

Hope this helps.

Nicholas,

Thanks for the reply. In the call to GetFtpConnectio n it does not
matter if I pass TRUE or FALSE in as the final parameter - it always
works.

Likewise with the C# code setting UsePassive makes no different - it
still doesn't work.
