Jul 30, 2011I have wrote a web service, in a nutshell it uses openpop to get email messages does stuff with the content to insert into databases and saves attachments which are images. That works fine when i save images locally, it does exactley what it is suppose to. Now an added requirment was to save images to an FTP directory, so i can create my folders dynamically (they are created based upon timestamp) and that works well. My problem comes from when i try to save them to the ftp. Yes my user name and password are correct,otherwise i wouldn't be creating the directory.

Use A Wildcard In The Uri Of An FtpWebRequest To Get File Date?
Oct 14, 2009I am working on an application in vb.net to move files back and forth between a client and a ftp server. We will be creating, deleting, and renaming temporary files during our update process.I want to check for the existence of a temp file before I begin an upload process to keep different users from trying to update the same file at the same time. I have a method (below) to check if the FTP file exists (using ContentLength), but I want to be able to pass in a string with a wildcard such as:
FileServer.FtpFileExists("MyTestFile.*.txt") Can I use a wild card with a FtpWebRequest object? What about a regular expression? Or should I pull down the directory(between 200-500 files) and iterate through that list on the client side trying to match with a regex/widcard?

View 2 RepliesBuffering Using Ftpwebrequest - Allows Users To Login To The System
Mar 15, 2011This will be my first post on this site, so I thought I would make it a doozy. I have an web application on our site at work that allows users to login to the system, and submit filings for dockets that our state agency governs. Without getting to involve with what that means, they basically upload mostly .pdf files, but there are others that are acceptable to upload as well. The current system that is being used, uses a simple FileUpload and saving it to a folder on the d: drive of the webserver. I ran into a problem that with anyone outside the building/network, the upload is extremely slow and seems to be limited files no larger than about 1.4MB. There have been a few cases where larger file have made it through, but those ar few and far between. I've tried a couple different 3rd party components, but seem to run into the same limits. So, I install the FTP server on the box with the IIS and am trying to go the FTP route using ftpwebrequest.
Below is what I have put together so far:
Imports System.Net
Imports System.IO
Partial Class _Default
[CODE]...
This seems to work as it is at the moment, but I know it has a long way to go for catch exeptions, speeding it up...
1.) The first problem I have run into is if you try to upload to large a file, you get Out of memory error. I'm needing to change the buffer so that it is buffering chunks instead of the entire file. I've googled over and over again and seem to find several good options in C#, but can't seem to convert them to VB. So, could some one give me some idea how to take what I have and change the buffering to use smaller chunks.
2.) I need to catch an empty UploadFile field.
3.) I will eventually be changing this so that it handle multiple file uploads like my current system uses. (Did I mention that I'm new to the ASP.NET and have been programming in .ASP)
4.) As you will notice from my list of acceptable file types, I might have a problem with some needing to be upload as Binary and some not. So I'm going to have to come up with a way to test and change the Requested.UseBinary = False as needed.
I'm sure that I'll find other items as I progress or the big bosses will find other things that they want to add, but for now.... I know that given enough time, I will get all of these items worked out.
By the way, we have a network adminstrator that leave a lot to be desired and most IIS and now FTP I'm having to learn, implement and configure. I'm wondering if there is anything else that could be causing these limits in file size. Since I've tried 4 completely different forms of uploads and they all seem to run into the same limits, I thought there might be something in a router, firewall, server configuration.... that I might need to look into as well.

Oct 26, 2010I'm having trouble finding a reliable method to check if a directory (folder) exists on an FTP server. I want to create new directories and then upload files into them but thought it best to check if the directory already exists. Although attmepting to create a directory that already exists does not seem to cause any errors, it does waste a bit of time.
This code reliably checks if a FILE exists:

I have attempted to modify this with ListDirectory in place of GetDateTimestamp (to check if a directory exists) but it seems no exception is thrown whether the directory exists or not. I've done lots of Googling but haven't found a satisfactory answer.

Nov 29, 2008I am currently using the below code to upload a file and display progress. It works fine except there are a few things I would like to do differently.
I am using the main FTP account for my website which has access to all of my files. I set up a different FTP login to use that only has access to a specific folder, but when I try to use it I get: Error 550 No such file or directory or access denied.
This FTP account allows access to: mywebsite.com/upload/users/ only If strFTPAddress = mywebsite.com/upload/users/ I get error 550, I've tried a few other things too and it's told me that it's an invalid URI
Basically what I want to know is if and how I might be able to connect using my second FTP account so that I only have access to the upload/users/ directory.

Blocking Web Sites In Browser?
Oct 10, 2009I am creating a security program. One of its features is that it blocks inappropriate web sites. I might need help determining which sites are bad and which ones are good. If I could 'read' every work that is displayed in the browser then I could tell, but that may come later.
So, I'm looking for some kind of hook that will allow me to cancel the site if needed. It should be able to still be hooked in Safe Mode, as well... I'm sure that this is going to be an easy one!
Connecting Through Https Sites
Apr 26, 2011I'm creating an API for a particular website. This API will be in the form of a referable DLL. I've tried the normal HttpListner but it errors when getting any data that is through https (basically anything specific about the currently logged in user). I also can't log in using it. My next attempt involved a hidden webbrowser but that is just as hacked up as it sounds (and very glitchy seeing as the WebBrowser likes to interrupt processes that are currently running with its events). I need a system that works and is fast and efficient (I know, I know, kind of a oxymoron). Does anybody know how to do this?I'm using VB.net so any .net code examples are acceptable.
