As the error message says, the parameter to WebRequest.Create needs to be a valid URI. The value you've passed in ("127.0.0.1 + ftp/reg.txt") is not a valid URI.

The URI should look something like:

"ftp://127.0.0.1/reg.txt"

However, this code doesn't make any sense. You're taking a file from the server, and trying to upload it via FTP to the same location on the same server!
