FTPWebRequest Problem

[Sputnik]

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

CInternetSession inet_session;
CFtpConnection *ftp_connection;

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

CString CurrentDirectory;
ftp_connection->GetCurrentDirectory(CurrentDirectory);

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.Create(@"ftp://integration300");
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("guest","ihannah");
request.Proxy = null;
request.EnableSsl = false;
request.UseBinary = true;
request.KeepAlive = false;
request.Method =
WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails;

FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
response.Close();

Does anyone have any idea why this is the case?

FtpWebRequest request =

(FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(@"ftp://integration300");
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("guest","ihannah");

Ensure that the assembly has sufficient permissions.
Request for Web-Request (Connect/Socket) permissions.

Check System.Security namespace.

Gaurav,

If security was the issue I would expect to get a security exception.
The exception that I am getting is a WebException "The Response has
time out".

I'm assuming that you are testing from the same machine (MFC and .Net code)
;)

Not quite sure... but you may want to try out by first opening a simple
socket to the server. (System.Net.Socket)...

Otherwise, things are crazy to me right now... :D
