The existing answers are valid  but why re-invent the wheel and bother with lower level WebRequest types while WebClient already implements FTP uploading neatly   using  var client   new WebClient          client Credentials   new NetworkCredential ftpUsername  ftpPassword       client UploadFile  ftp   host path zip   WebRequestMethods Ftp UploadFile  localFile

I have observed that -   FtpwebRequest is missing  As the target is FTP  so the NetworkCredential required     I have prepared a method that works like this  you can replace the value of the variable ftpurl with the parameter TargetDestinationPath  I had tested this method on winforms application    private void UploadProfileImage string TargetFileName  string TargetDestinationPath  string FiletoUpload                          Get the Image Destination path             string imageName   TargetFileName    you can comment this             string imgPath   TargetDestinationPath                string ftpurl    ftp   downloads abc com downloads abc com MobileApps SystemImages ProfileImages     imgPath              string ftpusername   krayknot DAL clsGlobal FTPUsername              string ftppassword   krayknot DAL clsGlobal FTPPassword              string fileurl   FiletoUpload               FtpWebRequest ftpClient    FtpWebRequest FtpWebRequest Create ftpurl               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  gt  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                string value   uploadResponse StatusDescription              uploadResponse Close                Let me know in case of any issue  or here is one more link that can help you   https   msdn microsoft com en-us library ms229715 v vs 110  aspx

The following works for me   public virtual void Send string fileName  byte   file        ByteArrayToFile fileName  file        var request    FtpWebRequest  WebRequest Create new Uri ServerUrl   fileName         request Method   WebRequestMethods Ftp UploadFile      request UsePassive   false      request Credentials   new NetworkCredential UserName  Password       request ContentLength   file Length       var requestStream   request GetRequestStream        requestStream Write file  0  file Length       requestStream Close         var response    FtpWebResponse  request GetResponse         if  response    null          response Close        You can t read send the file parameter in your code as it is only the filename   Use the following   byte   bytes   File ReadAllBytes dir   file     To get the file so you can pass it to the Send method

This works for me this method will SFTP a file to a location within your network  It uses SSH NET 2013 4 7 library One can just download it for free         Secure FTP     public void SecureFTPUploadFile string destinationHost int port string username string password string source string destination                 ConnectionInfo ConnNfo   new ConnectionInfo destinationHost  port  username  new PasswordAuthenticationMethod username  password             var temp   destination Split               string destinationFileName   temp temp Count   - 1           string parentDirectory   destination Remove destination Length -  destinationFileName Length   1   destinationFileName Length   1             using  var sshclient   new SshClient ConnNfo                         sshclient Connect                using  var cmd   sshclient CreateCommand  mkdir -p     parentDirectory      amp  amp  chmod  rw     parentDirectory                                 cmd Execute                              sshclient Disconnect                        using  var sftp   new SftpClient ConnNfo                         sftp Connect                sftp ChangeDirectory parentDirectory               using  var uplfileStream   System IO File OpenRead source                                 sftp UploadFile uplfileStream  destinationFileName  true                             sftp Disconnect

Easiest way The most trivial way to upload a file to an FTP server using  NET framework is using WebClient UploadFile method  WebClient client   new WebClient    client Credentials   new NetworkCredential  quot username quot    quot password quot    client UploadFile  quot ftp   ftp example com remote path file zip quot     quot C  local path file zip quot      Advanced options If you need a greater control  that WebClient does not offer  like TLS SSL encryption  ascii text transfer mode  active mode  transfer resuming  progress monitoring  etc   use FtpWebRequest  Easy way is to just copy a FileStream to an FTP stream using Stream CopyTo  FtpWebRequest request        FtpWebRequest WebRequest Create  quot ftp   ftp example com remote path file zip quot    request Credentials   new NetworkCredential  quot username quot    quot password quot    request Method   WebRequestMethods Ftp UploadFile     using  Stream fileStream   File OpenRead   quot C  local path file zip quot    using  Stream ftpStream   request GetRequestStream          fileStream CopyTo ftpStream       Progress monitoring If you need to monitor an upload progress  you have to copy the contents by chunks yourself  FtpWebRequest request        FtpWebRequest WebRequest Create  quot ftp   ftp example com remote path file zip quot    request Credentials   new NetworkCredential  quot username quot    quot password quot    request Method   WebRequestMethods Ftp UploadFile     using  Stream fileStream   File OpenRead   quot C  local path file zip quot    using  Stream ftpStream   request GetRequestStream          byte   buffer   new byte 10240       int read      while   read   fileStream Read buffer  0  buffer Length    gt  0                ftpStream Write buffer  0  read           Console WriteLine  quot Uploaded  0  bytes quot   fileStream Position             For GUI progress  WinForms ProgressBar   see C  example at  How can we show progress bar for upload with FtpWebRequest  Uploading folder If you want to upload all files from a folder  see Upload directory of files to FTP server using WebClient  For a recursive upload  see Recursive upload to FTP server in C
