FTP a file in .net

I am looking to move a file from a directory on a server to a file share using a process running out that server already.

I want to know the best way to do this using the ftp protocol. My initial thoughts on how to do this were to use System.Net.FtpWebRequest... I will probably end up using this, but it looks like there may be some problems with it. To see what I mean check out the following link...'

That being said, in that article, he listed some other libraries that might be of use. Has anyone used any of these libraries? Would it be a good idea for me to try these out? Or should I just stick with FtpWebRequest. I will only be uploading a small file, and maybe it is not worth the time learning new libraries

Solution

  • If you are moving a file from a local server to a path accessible by network share from that server then there is no need to use FTP, you could just use File.Copy()
