Question

How do I catch the ftp when it is unable to connect? I tried this, but had no luck.

try
        {
        Stream ftpStream = request.GetRequestStream();
        FileStream file = File.OpenRead(this.txtFile.Text);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Unable to upload file! Please close out window and try again later. " + ex.Message);
        }

Error 2 The name ‘file’ does not exist in the current context

Error 3 The name ‘ftpStream’ does not exist in the current context

Warning 1 The variable ‘Chosen_File’ is assigned but its value is never used

Answer 1

The error you’re receiving is because you are trying to use the variables ftpStream and file outside of the try {} block. Here’s some reading from MSDN on the subject of try/catch blocks.
