unhandled exception : System.net.webException

[anandthite7]

Hi,
I am using a C# console appliaction to FTP a file from Windows to Unix. Here i am using the following code :

FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(myUri);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;

* myUri is the URI for my Unix machine

I am getting an error of
System.Net.WebException : The remote name could not be resolved : 'myUri'

Kindly suggest some pointers in resolving the error.
Thanks in advance!

It would help if you posted the declaration code for myUri since the exception is indicating that this code is incorrect.

The code for myUri is :

Uri newUri = new Uri("ftp://www.xyz.com");

i can write the URI directly in the ".Create()" method as well, i have just taken it as "newUri" for convenience

The error is stating that the web request couldn't be made because it could not resolve the URL that you've provided.

Are you sure that "ftp://www.xyz.com" exists?
It can't be resolved.
