this is the change i made in code and it works now, stream reader was creating problem
//FTP Server URL.
string ftp = "ftp:/ your ftp";
//FTP Folder name. Leave blank if you want to upload to root folder.
string ftpFolder = "ftp folder/";
byte[] fileBytes = null;
//Read the FileName and convert it to Byte array.
string fileName = Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.FileName);
FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
using (var binaryReader = new BinaryReader(FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream))
{
fileBytes = binaryReader.ReadBytes(FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength);
}
try
{
//Create FTP Request.
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(ftp + ftpFolder + fileName);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
//Enter FTP Server credentials.
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
request.ContentLength = fileBytes.Length;
request.UsePassive = true;
request.UseBinary = true;
request.ServicePoint.ConnectionLimit = fileBytes.Length;
request.EnableSsl = false;
using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
requestStream.Write(fileBytes, 0, fileBytes.Length);
requestStream.Close();
}
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
lblMessage.Text += fileName + " uploaded.<br />";
response.Close();
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
throw new Exception((ex.Response as FtpWebResponse).StatusDescription);
}
