Upload file to FTP using C#

Question

I try upload a file to an FTP-server with C#. The file is uploaded but with zero bytes.

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var dirPath = @"C:/Documents and Settings/sander.GD/Bureaublad/test/";

    ftp ftpClient = new ftp("ftp://example.com/", "username", "password");

    string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(dirPath,"*.*");

    var uploadPath = "/httpdocs/album";

    foreach (string file in files)
    {
        ftpClient.createDirectory("/test");

        ftpClient.upload(uploadPath + "/" + Path.GetFileName(file), file);
    }

    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(txtnaam.Text))
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Gelieve uw naam in te geven !");
    }
}

Answer 1

The existing answers are valid, but why re-invent the wheel and bother with lower level WebRequest types while WebClient already implements FTP uploading neatly:

using (var client = new WebClient())
{
    client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpUsername, ftpPassword);
    client.UploadFile("ftp://host/path.zip", WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile, localFile);
}
