Hello guys,

i want to upload a file to ftp server using simple C# widows service application, and this is my code
C#
protected void UploadToFTP(string path, string name)
        {
            Logger("Executing UploadToFTP Function . . .");
            Logger("UploadToFTP Report :: " + path + "," + name);
            String sourcefilepath = path;
            String ftpurl = "ftp://cnetiran.com";
            String ftpusername = "cnetiran.com";
            String ftppassword = "************";
            try
            {
                string filename = Path.GetFileName(sourcefilepath);
                string ftpfullpath = ftpurl + "//rasool//" + name;
                FtpWebRequest ftp = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpfullpath);
                ftp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpusername, ftppassword);

                ftp.KeepAlive = true;
                ftp.UseBinary = true;
                ftp.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;

                FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(sourcefilepath);
                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();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Logger("UploadToFTP Function Says : " + ex.ToString());
            }
            Logger("End of UploadToFTP . . .");
        }

I'm assuming that "does not work properly" means it transfers nothing at all. The error message you have logged will probably be relevant here - have you looked at it?

Without running this code as a service myself, I would have to guess, but my first thought would be to look at the service access permissions. Since when you run it as an app it works, and doesn't as a service, it is likely that the file is accessible to the user who executes the application, but not to the service, which runs as a different user altogether. You may have to either change teh permissions, or run teh service as a different user.

when i use this code as a service app, it gets this error:

Look at the message:
...(e.g., file not found, no access)...
If your user the service is running under does not have permission, you will get "no access"
