Practical Approach of Creating and Removing Directory To/from FTP Path

In this article we are going to see how to create and remove a directory to/from FTP path.

Step 1: Used Namespaces:

using System.Net;
using System.IO;

Step 2: Usage:

MakeDir("ftp://208.43.121.51/","directory", "UserName", "Password");
RemoveDir("ftp://208.43.121.51/","directory", "UserName", "Password");

Step 3: Creating Directory in FTP path:

/// <summary>
/// Used to create directory in the FTP path.
/// </summary>
public static void MakeDir(string fullFtpPath, string directoryName, string ftpUserID, string ftpPassword)
{
FtpWebRequest reqFTP;
try
{
// dirName = name of the directory to create
reqFTP = CreateFTPRequest(fullFtpPath, directoryName);
//Setting Webrequest type.
reqFTP.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.MakeDirectory;
//Setting datatype for file transfer
reqFTP.UseBinary = true;
//Settting User credentials
reqFTP.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpUserID, ftpPassword);
//Getting response from request
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)reqFTP.GetResponse();
//Helps to disconnect from the FTP path.
Stream ftpStream = response.GetResponseStream();
//Closes the Stream
ftpStream.Close();
//Closes the Response.
response.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
HttpContextClass.GetHttpResponse().Write(ex.Message);
}
}
