Move files between folders in FTP with different credentials

Question

I'm working on a scenario wherein I need to move some files from one FTP location to another. The FTP server is the same but credentials for the source and destination are different.
For example,
I need to copy files
FROM
"ftp://sampleftp.com/sourceFolder" with login credentials "User1", "Password1"
TO
"ftp://sampleftp.com/destinationFolder" with login credentials "user2","password_2"
Kindly note the different credentials I have used above for source and destination.
I referred to this similar stackoverflow question link but that seems to work for the FTP folder with constant login credentials.
Can someone please guide me on how best can I implement this?
Thanks a lot!

No issues one solution is to save above powershell scripts as .ps1 files and execute these from C#. Refer this http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/18229/How-to-run-PowerShell-scripts-from-C the other one is to write your own code what Powershell scripts are doing? [I feel you're duplicating the existing capability by picking this option..] Tell me which is your choice and also why?

You can use Powershell scripting to do so. Download file using below script: #ftp server $ftp = ftp://sampleftp.com/sourceFolder $user = User1 $pass = Password1 $SetType = bin $remotePickupDir = Get-ChildItem 'c:	est' -recurse $webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient $webclient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($user$pass) foreach($item in $remotePickupDir){ $uri = New-Object System.Uri($ftp+$item.Name) #$webclient.UploadFile($uri$item.FullName) $webclient.DownloadFile($uri$item.FullName) } Use powershell again to upload: #we specify the directory where all files that we want to upload $Dir=C:/Dir #ftp server $ftp = ftp://sampleftp.com/destinationFolder $user = user2 $pass = password_2 $webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient $webclient.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($user$pass) #list every sql server trace file foreach($item in (dir $Dir *.trc)){ Uploading $item... $uri = New-Object System.Uri($ftp+$item.Name) $webclient.UploadFile($uri $item.FullName) }
