ok. Here is my code

Imports System.net
Module Module1
 
    Sub Main()
        'system.Net.WebClient.UploadFile(
        Dim uriString As String = "ftp://username:[email protected]/public_html/Temp/test.txt"
 
        ' Create a new WebClient instance.
        Dim myWebClient As New WebClient
 
        Dim fileName As String = "C:\Temp\test.txt"
        Console.WriteLine("Uploading {0} to {1} ...", fileName, uriString)
 
        ' Upload the file to the URI.
        ' The 'UploadFile(uriString,fileName)' method implicitly uses HTTP POST method. 
        Dim responseArray As Byte() = myWebClient.UploadFile(uriString, fileName)
 
        ' Decode and display the response.
        Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr & "Response Received.The contents of the file uploaded are: " & _
            ControlChars.Cr & "{0}", System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(responseArray))
    End Sub
End Module

am getting an error saying

An exception occurred during a WebClient request.

I'm not sure that you can include the credentials in the URL like that with a WebClient. The object has a Credentials property. Try setting that and then just using the plain URL.
