hi to all,
I am currently new to C# and I am writing very basic C# FTP application.
Right now, I writing the code to download a file from an FTP Server then save
the downloaded files to the local machine. Below is the
code snippet of what I have:
//set file path
filePath = pathToStore + fileNames[i];
//instantiate output stream object
//@FileMode.Create, we want to write the file on the specified filePath
_outputStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create);
//create ftpwebrequest object
//file path on the server
string file = this._server + "testings/csv/" + fileNames[i];
Console.WriteLine(file);
_ftpReq = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(file);
//specify network credintial, ther username and password
//required to use the FTP server
_ftpReq.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(this._username, this._password, this._domain);
//specify the method we need for this action
_ftpReq.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
_ftpReq.UseBinary = true;
//get server response
_ftpResponse = (FtpWebResponse)_ftpReq.GetResponse();
//comment needed here
_ftpStream = _ftpResponse.GetResponseStream();
//comment needed here
long cl = _ftpResponse.ContentLength;
int bufferSize = 1024; //specify buffer size to 512MB
int readCount; //declare counter variable
byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize]; //declare the buffer
//comment needed here
readCount = _ftpStream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
//read stream content and store to
//local machine or the specified dir.
while (readCount > 0)
{
_outputStream.Write(buffer, 0, readCount);
readCount = _ftpStream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
}
My problem is, once the download have been completed, all files that
were downloaded are 0kb... all file sizes are 0kb... I checked the files
on the FTP Server and all files are greater than 100Kbs.
Please help me with this. Any oppiniouns and help are greatly appreciated
Thanks
