I just created an FTP server based on the code provided here http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/csharp/cs_network/sockets/article.php/c7409/A-C-FTP-Server.htm . Then I installed Nuget packages for FtpClient, so that I can create a test FTP client which connects to FTP server. Following is my code:
[TestMethod]
async public Task TestMethod1() // wanted to make it async as I may connect have something related to database in future
{
var client = new FtpClient
{
Host = "127.0.0.1",
Port = 21,
Credentials = new NetworkCredential
{
UserName = "123",
Password = "123",
},
DataConnectionType = FtpDataConnectionType.PASV // If I don't add this, I get EPSV unknown command
};
await client.ConnectAsync();
Debug.WriteLine("Connected");
client.SetWorkingDirectory(@"C:\Users\myname\Desktop");
Debug.WriteLine(client.GetWorkingDirectory());
try
{
var items = client.GetListing(); // Exception shows up here.
Debug.WriteLine(items.Count());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
The issue could be that I don't have a command handler for FEAT in my server. But, my FTP server runs completely fine with filezilla. If command handler is required, can someone provide me code for this?
If I ignore this error, I get this exception in test method "Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."
Any ideas?
[EDIT] Here's the full exception:
Test method Blackhawk.Core.FtpServer.Test.UnitTest1.TestMethod1 threw exception:

I was able to solve the problem by changing data connection type to AutoActive. Here's the final code which works:
[TestMethod]
async public Task FtpTestUser1()
{
var client = new FtpClient
{
Host = "127.0.0.1",
Port = 21,
Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.Default,
Credentials = new NetworkCredential
{
// Storing username, password and default directory in a .dat file
UserName = "123",
Password = "123",
},
DataConnectionType = FtpDataConnectionType.AutoActive // Changed this part.
};
await client.ConnectAsync();
Debug.WriteLine("Connected");
var path = @"Test"; // This path is now relative to the default directory
client.SetWorkingDirectory(path);
Debug.WriteLine(client.GetWorkingDirectory());
var items = client.GetListing();
Assert.IsTrue(items.Any());
Debug.WriteLine(items.Count());
foreach (var ftpListItem in items)
{
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("File name is {0}", ftpListItem.Name));
}
}
