Question

I’m uploading a file using the UploadFile method on the WebClient object. When the file is uploaded I would like to get a confirmation and according to MSDN (and also here on stackoverflow: Should I check the response of WebClient.UploadFile to know if the upload was successful?) I should be able to read the returned byte array but that is always empty.

Am I doing something the wrong way?

WebClient FtpClient = new WebClient();
FtpClient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("test", "test");
byte[] responseArray = FtpClient.UploadFile("ftp://localhost/Sample.rpt", @"C:\Test\Sample.rpt");
string s = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(responseArray);
Console.WriteLine(s); //Empty string

Or is it always successful if it doesn’t return an exception?
