[RESOLVED] FTP Upload Error

[Cyb3rH4Xter]

I can't get this ftp upload file function I got from msdn to work:

        private static void uploadFile(string FTPAddress, string filePath, string username, string password)
        {
            //Create FTP request
            FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(FTPAddress + "/" + Path.GetFileName(filePath));

            request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
            request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
            request.UsePassive = true;
            request.UseBinary = false;
            request.KeepAlive = false;

            //Load the file
            FileStream stream = File.OpenRead(filePath);
            byte[] buffer = new byte[stream.Length];

            stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            stream.Close();

            //Upload file
            Stream reqStream = request.GetRequestStream();
            reqStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            reqStream.Close();
        }

I get an error on this line:

Stream reqStream = request.GetRequestStream();

saying: Error 550, Permissions denied

Which is not a C# error, but an FTP error from my ftp server stating that I need more permissions, but I already have full and if I log onto the ftp in another client I can upload files to any directory.

Therefore something must be wrong with the code, anyone that got a clue?

Solved.

You mind sharing how?

Of course
Actually there was nothing wrong with the code, just the way I passed the parameters to the function

As I had tried writing my own upload function but not suceeded before, that lead to me passing the "string FTPAdress" wrong.

When I got the error I wrote about I passed it as such:

"ftp://mysite.com/myfiles/file.jpg"

But then I realised that the function already merged the filename with the path in the code, I didn't have to do it myself so the proper input was this:

"ftp://mysite.com/myfiles/"

So that was the error I got and the problem I made and now it works great
