Upload file to ftp with unique name in asp.net c#

I wrote below function to upload file to ftp.it's working properly but i need to get uploaded file name.I think ftp server should write file name in response,am i right?
public static string UploadFileToFTP(string source,string destination)
{
string filename = Path.GetFileName(source);
string ftpfullpath = #ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ftp_url"].ToString();
FtpWebRequest ftp = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpfullpath+#destination);
ftp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ftp_user"].ToString(), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ftp_pass"].ToString());
string[] jj = ftp.Headers.GetValues(0);
ftp.KeepAlive = true;
ftp.UseBinary = true;
ftp.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFileWithUniqueName;
FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(#source);
byte[] buffer = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
fs.Close();
Stream ftpstream = ftp.GetRequestStream();
ftpstream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
ftpstream.Close();
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)ftp.GetResponse();
return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ftp_http_url"].ToString() + #destination + "/" + response.ToString();//response.?
}

You just need to read the Response stream
string fileName = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
Or better
string fileName;
using(s = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())) {
fileName = s.ReadToEnd();
}

I'm not sure why you're going all "bare" and using FtpWebRequest, this can be resolved with three LOC using WebClient, which returns a byte[] response:
using (WebClient webClient = new WebClient())
{
webClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ftp_user"].ToString(),
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ftp_pass"].ToString());
byte[] response = webClient.UploadFile("ftp://address.toserver.com",
WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFileWithUniqueName,
"PathToLocalFile");
var fileName = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(response);
}

C# FTP Download - JSON File

In my code I want to upload and download a specific JSON-File to a FTP-Server.
The serializing works great and also the upload. When i look up the file via - for example - FileZilla, the content of the file is correct. (on the server)
But when i download this file with my application (and with my code - NOT with FileZilla), I don't get any exceptions, but the file is nearly empty. This is the only content:
{}
And here is my code for downloading:
string ResponseDescription = "";
FtpWebRequest req = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create("ftp://" + "ftp.strato.com" + "/" + verzeichnis + "/" + file.Name);
req.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
req.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(this.benutzer, this.passwort);
req.UseBinary = true;
req.UsePassive = false;
req.Proxy = null;
try
{
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
FileStream fs = new FileStream(destinationFolder + #"/" + destinationFile.Name, FileMode.Create);
int ReadCount = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
while (ReadCount > 0)
{
fs.Write(buffer, 0, ReadCount);
ReadCount = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
}
ResponseDescription = response.StatusDescription;
fs.Close();
stream.Close();
return true;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Message); // TODO - better Errorhandling
return false;
}

I found the solution. It was my mistake. The problem wasnt the download - the code was correct (as you said).
After downloading the file the JSON-Deserialization runs and here was the cause. I had a little mistake in my deserialization-logic.

Upload large file to ftp C#

I'm uploading large files to ftp site using this code.
Code
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(FileLoc, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
string ftpUrl = string.Format("{0}/{1}", uploadUrl, uploadFileName);
FtpWebRequest requestObj = FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpUrl) as FtpWebRequest;
requestObj.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
requestObj.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(Uid, Pass);
using (Stream requestStream = requestObj.GetRequestStream())
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[8092];
int read = 0;
while ((read = fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
{
requestStream.Write(buffer, 0, read);
}
requestStream.Flush();
if (fs != null)
{
fs.Close();
fs.Dispose();
}
if (requestStream != null)
{
requestStream.Close();
requestStream.Dispose();
}
}
}
Some times this code up-lode files very fine but some time it up-lodes some part of file not complete file and doesn't give any error.
Can any one help me why some time it upload only some part of file not hole file.

Here's the code we use for uploading to FTP. It looks very similar to your own. Nevertheleess, I post it for your reference as we haven't had any such reported failures
private void UploadFile(string fileToUpload)
{
Output = new Uri(Path.Combine(Output.ToString(), Path.GetFileName(fileToUpload)));
FtpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(Output) as FtpWebRequest;
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
// in order to work with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 + IIS, we can't use passive mode.
request.UsePassive = false;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
// Copy the contents of the file to the request stream.
Stream dest = request.GetRequestStream();
FileStream src = File.OpenRead(fileToUpload);
int bufSize = (int)Math.Min(src.Length, 1024);
byte[] buffer = new byte[bufSize];
int bytesRead = 0;
int numBuffersUploaded = 0;
do
{
bytesRead = src.Read(buffer, 0, bufSize);
dest.Write(buffer, 0, bufSize);
numBuffersUploaded++;
}
while (bytesRead != 0);
dest.Close();
src.Close();
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
if (response.StatusCode != FtpStatusCode.ClosingData)
{
Console.Error.WriteLine("Request {0}: Error uploading file to FTP server: {1} ({2})", Id, response.StatusDescription, response.StatusCode);
}
else
{
Console.Out.WriteLine("Request {0}: Successfully transferred file to {1}", Id, Output.ToString());
}
}

How I can upload file with ftp server?

I have a host for my web site and this host have not enough space for my file and I get another host to save my file in this host I have ftp adress and username and pass
I find this code
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://www.contoso.com/test.htm");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
// This example assumes the FTP site uses anonymous logon.
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential ("anonymous","janeDoe#contoso.com");
but
how i can upload my file to another host with ftp and get url place of save file?

you choose the path where you upload to ftp appending directories to the FTP address:
string CompleteDPath = "ftp://yourFtpHost/folder1/folder2/";
string FileName = "yourfile.txt";
And here you have a working example I found once:
WebRequest reqObj = WebRequest.Create(CompleteDPath + FileName);
The following script work great with me for uploading files and videos to another servier via ftp.
FtpWebRequest ftpClient = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpurl + "" + username + "_" + filename);
ftpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(ftpusername, ftppassword);
ftpClient.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
ftpClient.UseBinary = true;
ftpClient.KeepAlive = true;
System.IO.FileInfo fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(fileurl);
ftpClient.ContentLength = fi.Length;
byte[] buffer = new byte[4097];
int bytes = 0;
int total_bytes = (int)fi.Length;
System.IO.FileStream fs = fi.OpenRead();
System.IO.Stream rs = ftpClient.GetRequestStream();
while (total_bytes > 0)
{
bytes = fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
rs.Write(buffer, 0, bytes);
total_bytes = total_bytes - bytes;
}
//fs.Flush();
fs.Close();
rs.Close();
FtpWebResponse uploadResponse = (FtpWebResponse)ftpClient.GetResponse();
value = uploadResponse.StatusDescription;
uploadResponse.Close();

File download For Current Request

I need to download the file as http response for the current http request.
Until now I used code as
System.Uri uri = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url;
HttpWebRequest httpRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(
Path.Combine(uri.ToString(), filename));
httpRequest.Method = "GET";
using (HttpWebResponse httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpRequest.GetResponse())
{
using (Stream responseStream = httpResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
using (FileStream localFileStream = new FileStream(
Path.Combine(localFolder, filename), FileMode.Open))
{
int bytesRead;
while ((bytesRead = responseStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
{
totalBytesRead += bytesRead;
localFileStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
}
}
}
But this code the request is only sending but not getting any responses...
Is this possible?

You should get the file off disk then use the Response.OutputStream to write the file directly to the response. Make sure to set the correct content headers so the browser will know what is coming.
FileInfo file = new FileInfo(Path.Combine(localFolder, filename));
int len = (int)file.Length, bytes;
Response.ContentType = "text/plain"; //Set the file type here
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + filename;
context.Response.AppendHeader("content-length", len.ToString());
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
using(Stream stream = File.OpenRead(path)) {
while (len > 0 && (bytes =
stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
{
Response.OutputStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytes);
len -= bytes;
}
}

Not sure, but it looks like your making a web request, getting the response stream, then attempting to buffer it out to localFolder. If so, FileMode.Open looks suspect ("should open an existing file..."?). Maybe use FileMode.Create.
MSDN ref
Also, does your web app needs to have write permissions to localFolder.
