Copy files from ftp to remote desktop using C#.Net

Question

I have to copy some files from ftp to another remote desktop computer. I am doing this as:

File.Copy("ftp://IPAddress:Port/MyFolder/MyFile.dll", @"IPAddress\MyLocation");

But this is not working. I think, it happened because the folder in the remote desktop where i have to paste my file is not a shared folder.

so , i want to know how can we copy files from ftp to remote desktop folder which is not shared?

also, the ftp and remote desktop requires the credentials (Password). pls also tell me how can i handle credentials in my code?

Have you tried using drive$ for the IPAddress\MyLocation? i.e. C$ will give you access to remote pc's C: drive — Bali C

The System.Io.File class does not support URI's or the FTP protocol, only access to local file system and shared folders.

Please check out this article on how to upload files with FTP using the .NET Framework.

i have successfully download file from FTP using ftpwebrequest and ftpwebresponse classes. Now, i have to paste this file to the folder of a remote server PC and this folder is not Shared. Is it possible?

This has nothing to do with folder sharing. FTP is a separate protocol that needs a separate server application like for instance Serv-U (Windows) or proftpd (Linux). See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTP and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_FTP_server_software
