Question

I am writing a .NET application in C# that needs to upload some files onto a server using FTP. I am looking at the UploadFileAsync method provided by he WebClient class:

What I am curious about is what happens if I tell it to upload a directory?

In my dreams it would recursively upload the directory and all of its contents…. Does anybody have any experience with this, or know any way I could get all the files up there without having to go through and manually create the sub directories and upload the files one by one?

Answer 1

It will not work like that. If you pass a directory, you’ll get an error. There’s no shortcut of the kind you seek, unfortunately.
