I'm trying to download a file using FtpWebRequest
.
private void DownloadFile(string userName, string password, string ftpSourceFilePath, string localDestinationFilePath)
{
int bytesRead = 0;
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
FtpWebRequest request = CreateFtpWebRequest(ftpSourceFilePath, userName, password, true);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
Stream reader = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream();
BinaryWriter writer = new BinaryWriter(File.Open(localDestinationFilePath, FileMode.CreateNew));
while (true)
{
bytesRead = reader.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
if (bytesRead == 0)
break;
writer.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
}
It uses this CreateFtpWebRequest
method I created:
private FtpWebRequest CreateFtpWebRequest(string ftpDirectoryPath, string userName, string password, bool keepAlive = false)
{
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(new Uri(ftpDirectoryPath));
//Set proxy to null. Under current configuration if this option is not set then the proxy that is used will get an html response from the web content gateway (firewall monitoring system)
request.Proxy = null;
request.UsePassive = true;
request.UseBinary = true;
request.KeepAlive = keepAlive;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(userName, password);
return request;
}
It downloads it. But the information is always corrupted. Anyone know what's going on?
Go to File >> New Connection Profile. On the create connection profile dialog, select the Automated Profile option. On the next page, provide the details required to connect to the FTP server. On the action rules page, select the option to download files from your FTP server.
Download files using Filezilla Downloading files from your remote server to your local computer works in a similar way. Navigate to the file or folder you wish to download in the right pane. Highlight the file or folder, right-click, and select Download.
Just figured it out:
private void DownloadFile(string userName, string password, string ftpSourceFilePath, string localDestinationFilePath)
{
int bytesRead = 0;
byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
FtpWebRequest request = CreateFtpWebRequest(ftpSourceFilePath, userName, password, true);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
Stream reader = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream();
FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(localDestinationFilePath, FileMode.Create);
while (true)
{
bytesRead = reader.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
if (bytesRead == 0)
break;
fileStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
fileStream.Close();
}
Had to use a FileStream instead.
