View 3 RepliesI have a vb.net window application to upload text file by using ftpwebrequest to a server. my question is: should I add a server response to the client application to make sure the server actually got the file. what I got now is only client side (to upload file to a folder in the server PC), but I havnt got a server side application to send response. If yes, how to create the server side application

I'm trying to write a vb.net program that will upload a file to a FTP site that has SSL (explicit, although I'm not sure what this means).The sample code and explanations I've Googled always assume when it's SSL that I'm using a client certificate. But I have no certificate to load.I simply need to login, accept their certificate and upload my file.When I accept their certificate am I actually installing it on the client? For example of FileZilla a box pops up and I just click on accept, then my login is complete.

I 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?

i have written a small app that:-Periodically captures a portion of a screen to jpeg file-Uploads this file to ftp serverAt first i used My.Computer.Network.UploadFileand it worked like a charm.

View 2 RepliesI 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.
Code:
Using vb.net 2005 - FtpWebRequest for ListDirectory always gets 550 error The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).
On both FTPListDirRequest.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory
FTPListDirRequest.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails

View 3 RepliesIve got an app that holds a list of site we have, At each site there are a few devices. The idea is when they click on a site all the details for the site are loaded and then a second thread sits and pings each device to see if its live. Im trying to do this in a seperate thread so if they click another site while its still pinging them it doesn't wait before it switches site. This all seems to be workling fine except if you click through the sites quickly, when you do that it will eventually come up with

I'm deploying a VB.Net app (VS 2010 Pro) that requiers the user click a command button to open IE to a financial WEB site and download informaion from the site. The app works fine in every detail when installed on the development computer. But, on the target computer when the command button is clicked an unhandled exception occurs which says: System.IO. FileNotFoundException:File Not found.My code behind the button is Shell("C:Program Files (x86)Internet Exploreriexplore.exe www,fidelity.com",AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
This works fine on the development computer. Do I need a way to code this as a relative path? If so,can you tell me how this is done?Throughout the app I have written relative paths to needed files using paths like (Open(Environment. GEtFolderPath (Environment. SpecialFoldder.Desktop) + "File Name). They all work fine when deployed.
I'm being asked to maintain several internal-only web apps for my company. For testing, after making my changes, I've created some staging sites which make use of separate databases. As such, if my users were to mistakenly use this site as if it were the production site, they may enter important data and wonder where it "disappeared" to thinking it was the production server.
I'd like to create a big banner of some sort across the top of the staging site (which ONLY appears on the staging site) to remind my users that they are on the test site. I'd like recommendations on the best way to do this, with the following considerations:
IDE: Visual Studio 2008
Server: Windows 2003 with IIS 6
Language: VB.NET 2.0
i want to know how can i code my button when i click it will open my site ... i Think i was clear.

I'm running an FTP Server using Golder FTP Server, which is freeware. I think it's setup correctly because connecting to the FTP Server using the exact same string as above using Windows Explorer works great.
[code]It gives me problems right there because it downloads the file but not the data in it,url... is 1 kb and has one character in it - 1, when it downloads it has the right name and extention but the contents and size is gone size is 0 bytes and contents are empty.
