Discussion on:

How do I... Use C

This code stuff has been around as long as Delphi.There is no place that you could type this code and have it work.This is not software writing.Some of these script lines are even recorded from the CPU and BIOS.I could open a dll in a C# interpreter program and see what you have copied and pasted here.To date,however,I could not do this because the Microsoft project folder is needed.

I know I'm going to hate it, but I open it anyway. Sure enough, it's full of those unidentifiable rubbery green bits and the smell of cheap alcohol.

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to get at but this is the second article of mine you've said this about.

Are you trying to say I'm decompiling some MS software and publishing the code?

First, BALTHOR almost never returns to defend any of his statements or respond to questions.

Second, he rarely knows what he's talking about. Check his profile and look at some of his previous postings. His DST rants from early this year are particularly enlightening.

It's C#

You should consider bracketting the stream instantiation (at least) with using as well.

It's a good habit to develop.

So, its a good sample of using managed code to FTP. Nothing wrong with it..

Hey, can I have some of what you guys are smokin

We use JustFTP in a script overnight to transfer files.

Bye.

Using is a good habit to develop and I guarantee if you compile this code with your trusty GNU compiler it will blow chunks.

Because it's not C

I totally agree and in production code I make extensive use of using(){}.

For anyone wondering what we're talking about, here is an example:

The code in my article looks like this:
StreamReader stream = new StreamReader("c:\test.txt");
//Do something with the stream
stream.Close();

There is an alternative to this code that ensures the stream is closed without having to explicitly call stream.Close() - that code is shown below:

using (StreamReader stream = new StreamReader("c:\test.txt"))
{
//Do something with the stream
}

I am getting the following error
: "The remote server returned an error: (530) Not logged in." Please help me solve this. Thanks a lot in advance

From the code, that would suggest the FTP server doesn't recognise your credentials.

This one is really a good example.. thanks

Hello, This is realyy a great example. Tahnk you very much. It really helped me
But I have a problem when downloading the file.First I tried with an txt file. Worked fine. But now I'm testing with an xml file. It overwrites the existing file. That's good too. Bur the problem is the file is not downloading complete and Everytime it changes. For example sometimes it downloads half and sometimes full and sometimes only few text at the end is missing. What can do about it. Can you please help me? Thanks again :))

file.Flush();

before file.Close();

might fix it.

You need to go through on debug and make sure have the entire content in byte[], if so either flush, or creating the file in a using block might fix your problem.

I really appreciated it. Thank you. But can I have the sample in Visual Studio 2008 version. I fail to convert from the current version.

Simple, straightforward and Effective. Thanks.

Good example to get the ball rolling. Thanks!

Excellent Example but there is need to set the null value in property of proxy of WebClient Object if ISA server is on client side.

e.g.
request.proxy = null;

Thanks! It's working very good!

I use FtpWebRequest to download multiple files from the server.but when use reqFTP.Credentials to send request, it creates too many connections.how to open a connection and file down a lot, this is my code:
reqFTP = (FtpWebRequest) FtpWebRequest.Create (Uri));
reqFTP.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
reqFTP.UseBinary = true;
reqFTP.Credentials = new NetworkCredential (ftpUserID, ftpPassword);
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse) reqFTP.GetResponse ();
