Get Files from a Remote Server using ftp.

Dear all,

Please help me how to get all files name from remote server using ftp.

I have already used but getting error:

public List GetFileList()

{

System.Net.FtpWebRequest ftpRequest = (System.Net.FtpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create("ftp://ftpserver.com");

ftpRequest.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");

ftpRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory;

System.Net.FtpWebResponse response = (System.Net.FtpWebResponse)ftpRequest.GetResponse();

System.IO.StreamReader streamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());

List directories = new List();

string line = streamReader.ReadLine();

while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(line))

{

directories.Add(line);

line = streamReader.ReadLine();

}

streamReader.Close();

return directories;

}

Error: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

Thanks & Regards

Niranjan Poddar

Seems that the issue due to wrong credentials. Is it possible to access the ftp location using the other tools like filezilla etc without any issues? Try to debug the application and find the inner exception for more clue.
