[RESOLVED] Write a string to a filestream?

My goal is to upload a string to a txt file on an ftp server.

Here is what I have found so far:

vb Code:

Dim clsRequest As System.Net.FtpWebRequest = _
            DirectCast(System.Net.WebRequest.Create(RemoteFilename), System.Net.FtpWebRequest)
        clsRequest.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("usr", "pw")
        clsRequest.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile
 
'write the string to a local text file 
        Dim Report as String = "Test Report"
        Dim ReportFile As String = "C:\report.txt"
        Dim strWriter As IO.StreamWriter
        strWriter = New IO.StreamWriter(ReportFile)
        strWriter.Write(Report)
        strWriter.Close()
 
        ' read in file
        Dim bFile() As Byte = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(ReportFile)
 
        ' upload file
        Dim clsStream As System.IO.Stream = clsRequest.GetRequestStream()
        clsStream.Write(bFile, 0, bFile.Length)
        clsStream.Close()
        clsStream.Dispose()

It seems pretty silly to do it like this! (write the file and then immediately read it again). Is there a way to convert a String into something that clsStream.Write will accept?

Thanks,

Dave

Cant you just do:

vb Code:

System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Some string here")

or does that not work in this case? (I've not played with streams and bytes much to be honest so I'm kind of guessing there...)

It works just fine, I just didn't know about that :)

Thanks,

Dave

Cool, glad to hear it works :)
