Introduction

  • Here, I will explain how to read multiple files from the folder, using FTP location. Please follow the steps mentioned below to fetch.
  • Follow the steps mentioned below to achieve our requirement.
Step 1
  • Place the code in Class file
  1. string ftpDownloadResult = string.Empty;
  3. try
  5. {
  7. WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FTPPath"]);
  9. request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory;
  11. request.Credentials = newNetworkCredential(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FTPUserName"],
  13. ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FTPPassword"]);
  15. using(var response = (FtpWebResponse) request.GetResponse())
  17. {
  19. StreamReader streamReader = newStreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
  21. List < string > directories = newList < string > ();
  23. string line = streamReader.ReadLine();
  25. while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(line))
  27. {
  29. directories.Add(line);
  31. line = streamReader.ReadLine();
  33. }
  35. streamReader.Close();
  37. using(WebClient ftpClient = newWebClient())
  39. {
  41. ftpClient.Credentials =
  45. new System.Net.NetworkCredential(
  47. ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FTPUserName"],
  49. ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FTPPassword"]);
  51. for (int i = 0; i <= directories.Count– 1; i++)
  53. {
  55. if (directories[i].Contains(“.”))
  57. {
  59. string path = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FTPPath"] + directories[i].ToString();
  61. string trnsfrpth = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SaveFilePath"] + directories[i].ToString();
  63. ftpClient.DownloadFile(path, trnsfrpth);
  65. }
  67. }
  69. }
  71. }
Step 2
  • Add the code, mentioned below to app.config
  1. <appSettings> < add key="FTPPath" value="ftp://test.com/MyFolder"></add> < add key="FTPUserName" value="USERNAME" /> <add key="FTPPassword" value="PASSWORD" />
  3. <addkeyaddkey="SaveFilePath"value="C:\HRData\" />
