[RESOLVED] The server committed a protocol violation.

[Tddupre]

For some reason i am getting this error when I try to upload to my ftp:

The underlying connection was closed: The server committed a protocol violation.

This happens at the GetRequestStream() portion of the code. here is my code:

   Private Sub FTPUpload(ByVal p_FilePath As String, ByVal p_FTPServer As String, ByVal p_FileNameOnServer As String, _
                                                ByVal p_Username As String, ByVal p_Password As String)
        'Reading file into a byte array
        Dim file As Byte()
        file = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(p_FilePath)

        'Request
        Dim req As System.Net.FtpWebRequest
        req = DirectCast(System.Net.WebRequest.Create("ftp://" + p_FTPServer + "/" + p_FileNameOnServer), System.Net.FtpWebRequest)

        'Credentials
        Dim credentials As New System.Net.NetworkCredential(p_Username, p_Password)
        req.Credentials = credentials

        'Request Method
        req.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile

        'uploading file onto FTP server
        Dim stream As System.IO.Stream
        stream = req.GetRequestStream()
        stream.Write(file, 0, file.Length)
        stream.Close()
    End Sub
