Hi All,

I am writing a piece of code to make directory on ftp using c# and everything seems fine but i've got an exception on runtime that "The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)." and i am stuck i don't know what to do. Please look into it and help me?

The code i am using goes here:

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;

namespace makedirectory
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create("ftp://127.0.0.1/" + "NewDirectory");
  request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("anonymous", "anonymous");
            request.UsePassive = true;
            request.UseBinary = true;
            request.KeepAlive = false;
            Console.WriteLine("Getting the response");

            request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.MakeDirectory;
            
            using (var resp = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(resp.StatusCode);
            }

        }
        
    }
}

check whether the FTP folder is having permission for anonymous system read/write.

In the server Go to Control Panel>Internet information Services, expand FTP Sites, right click in Default FTP Site and go to Properties, in the tab Particular directory check Write and press OK.

probably you do not have write permission to the directory you are trying to access and create a new directory inside that.
