Did you verify in the debugger the strings passed to UploadFile are correct? Is there a path separator (slash) between FTPIP and the path?

Richard Deeming 22-May-18 10:55am

1) FTP paths use forward-slashes as the path separator. You're using backslashes.
Replace @"ftp:\\" with "ftp://"

2) You don't seem to have a separator between the FTP server address and the file name.
Add a separator in ... + FTPIP + Path.GetFileName(... so that it becomes ... + FTPIP + "/" + Path.GetFileName(...

If it still doesn't work, debug your code and ensure that you're passing in the correct paths.

Solution 2

WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
client.DownloadFile(
"ftp://ftp.example.com/remote/path/file.zip", @"C:\local\path\file.zip");

void Upload(){
    Web client = new WebClient();
    client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
    client.BaseAddress = "ftp://ftpsample.net/";

    client.UploadFile("sample.txt", "sample.txt"); //since the baseaddress
}
