Hi folks,

I have been really struggling to upload the text file generated after Report As Finished Posting, on FTP server location.

While uploading I am getting one error, in the following line

requestStream = ftpRequest.GetRequestStream();

Error : The remote server returned an erro :(550) File unavailable (eg. file not found, no access)

Now I am not getting any headway for this error as,

I am able to access the FTP location through File Explorer and have all the permissions.

Help would be grateful.

Thanks.

Hi Babalalex,

Did you give the full file path including the file name in your code?

Such as:

Uri serverUri = "ftp://ftp.example.com/home/example/example.pdf"; FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(serverUri);

Can you upload a bit more about your code?

Hi Babalalex,

Have a look at this blog:

https://mfmujahidmim.wordpress.com/2016/09/13/uploading-a-%E2%80%8Bfile-to-ftp-server-through-x-with-detail-explanation/

You should pay attention to the following points:

1,The file name must not have spaces and colons in it otherwise it throws error.

2,Make sure you must have proper file path otherwise, it throws an error.

Hope this helps.

Hey Thanks Will.

It worked for me.

I just focussed on,

And made the changes like file name, Login and Pwd carefully.

So worked.
