I have wrote a web service, in a nutshell it uses openpop to get email messages does stuff with the content to insert into databases and saves attachments which are images. That works fine when i save images locally, it does exactley what it is suppose to. Now an added requirment was to save images to an FTP directory, so i can create my folders dynamically (they are created based upon timestamp) and that works well. My problem comes from when i try to save them to the ftp. Yes my user name and password are correct, otherwise i wouldn't be creating the directory.
Private Sub UploadFile(ByVal fileToSave As FileInfo, ByVal path As String)
Dim UploadRequest As FtpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create("ftp://UserName:Passowrd@999.99.999.9" & path), FtpWebRequest)
UploadRequest.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("PicService", "grean.matching18")
UploadRequest.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile
UploadRequest.UseBinary = True
UploadRequest.UsePassive = True
' Const BufferSize As Integer = 2048
' Dim content(BufferSize - 1) As Byte, dataRead As Integer
Dim bFile() As Byte = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(fileToSave.ToString)
'UploadRequest.ContentLength = content.Length
Using FileStream1 As FileStream = fileToSave.OpenRead()
Try
'open request to send
Using RequestStream As Stream = UploadRequest.GetRequestStream
End Using
Catch ex As Exception
Finally
'ensure file closed
FileStream1.Close()
End Try
End Using
End Sub
I have tried using Passive False and Binary False as well, i did more research on my stack trace. And found this article but no solution as of yet. Any input would be appreciated, i am also posting another question on windows services for different issue. If you would like to take a shot at it, the other question isnt about ftp but permissions for a service on windows server 2003
