can we just connect to ftp and display whether connected or not without giving any file name in the server?

If using 3rd-party tools is an option, you can use this FTP library for .NET to connect and transfer files. Here is the example code:

C#

// Create a new class instance.
Ftp client = new Ftp();

// Connect to the FTP server.
client.Connect("localhost");

// Authenticate.
client.Authenticate("test", "test");

// ... 
 
// Upload local file 'c:\test.dat' to '/test.dat'.
client.UploadFile("c:\\test.dat", "/test.dat");

// ... 
 
// Disconnect.
client.Disconnect();
