I'm trying to upload a file to web using windows application(c#). I've tried this following code

private void uploadFile(string FTPAddress, string filePath, string username, string password)
        {
            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 = true;
            request.KeepAlive = false;

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

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

            Stream reqStream = request.GetRequestStream();
            reqStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            reqStream.Close();

            MessageBox.Show("Uploaded Successfully");
        }

and getting this following error while trying this

Quote:
The remote name could not be resolved: 'username'

Can anyone please guide me?
Thanks in advance.

Apart from the fact that you haven't formatted the code, and apart from the fact you haven't even attempted to solve the OPs problem, this post is over 18 months old and has an accepted solution.
Everything you have posted has been copied from this article Simple FTP library in C#[^]. You've missed out most of the code, but (if you were answering a relevant question) you should have posted a link to the article, not tried to claim this as your own work.
