Solution 1

This could be done either with the unc or ftp. Here is the sample code to perform FTP operation:

C#

public void ftpfile(string ftpfilepath, string inputfilepath)   
{   
    string ftphost = "127.0.0.1";   
    //here correct hostname or IP of the ftp server to be given   
  
    string ftpfullpath = "ftp://" + ftphost + ftpfilepath;   
    FtpWebRequest ftp = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpfullpath);   
    ftp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("userid", "password");   
    //userid and password for the ftp server to given   
  
    ftp.KeepAlive = true;   
    ftp.UseBinary = true;   
    ftp.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;   
    FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(inputfilepath);   
    byte[] buffer = new byte[fs.Length];   
    fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);   
    fs.Close();   
    Stream ftpstream = ftp.GetRequestStream();   
    ftpstream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);   
    ftpstream.Close();   
}

The code i wrote is,

public void ftpfile(string ftpfilepath, string inputfilepath)
{
string ftphost = "149.223.26.33";

string ftpfullpath = "ftp://" + ftphost + ftpfilepath;
FtpWebRequest ftp = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpfullpath);
ftp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("amaljose", "amal*03");
ftp.Timeout = 10000000;
ftp.KeepAlive = true;
ftp.UseBinary = true;
ftp.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(inputfilepath);
byte[] buffer = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
fs.Close();
ftp.Proxy = null;
Stream ftpstream = ftp.GetRequestStream();

FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)ftp.GetResponse();
ftpstream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
ftpstream.Close();
Console.WriteLine("Upload File Complete, status{0}", response.StatusDescription);
response.Close();
}

and in the main function

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Class1 b1 = new Class1();
b1.ftpfile(@"//D:/Developers/muralim/TRW.HRM.Headcount_LMSFeed/Log" + @"/" + "employeedetails1.txt", @"C:/Documents and Settings/aj99823/Desktop/project/employeedetails1.txt");
}

Solution 2

Another scenario is same userID/password even across the domains.

All you need is for the username and password to be the same and this will work, even if they are in different domains. The thing to make sure of is that your .NET application is running as this user.
