So I have this ftp upload, upload file from my local to ftp folder, but my problem is, I need to refresh the FTP Folder to view my uploaded file.

Pls help.

What I have tried:

using System.Net;
using System.IO;

//Create FTP request
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpAdd + "/" + Path.GetFileName(filePath));

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

//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();
                    
request = null;
MessageBox.Show("Uploaded Successfully");

You're going to have to describe what "refresh the FTP Folder" means. Does that mean you have to hit F5 in the Explorer window on the server to see the file? Does it mean you have to refresh the view on the client after you upload the file to show the current files on the remote FTP server? What?

Yes Sir, correct. I have to right click then click Refresh button in the explorer..

You don't have any control over that in your code.
