Question

Problem: When i ftp upload only one file at a time, the files are uploaded fine, But when i use multiple Background workers to upload files to ftp server i get exception:

• ex {“The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable
  (e.g., file not found, no access).”} System.Exception
  {System.Net.WebException}

And only Some of the files get uploaded. I am pretty sure the file exits at that location, infact in another run the file it was complaining about that does not exist is downloaded but the error shifts on another file.

Code Description:
In below code i am downloading a file from one ftp server and putting it on another. This code is inside a BackgroundsWorker_DoWork Method. Background Workers are being created inside a loop.

void imageDownloadWorker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
        {
           string[] ftpInfo = (string[])e.Argument;
            try
            {

                ///////////////////////////Downloading///////////////////////////////////////
                string uri = String.Format("ftp://{0}/{1}/images/{2}", ftpInfo[1], ftpInfo[2], ftpInfo[5]);

            FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
            request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
            request.UseBinary = true;
            request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpInfo[3], ftpInfo[4]);

            FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
            Stream ftpStream = response.GetResponseStream();

            long cl = response.ContentLength;
            int bufferSize = 4096;
            int readCount = 0;
            byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
            MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
            readCount = ftpStream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
            while (readCount > 0)
            {
                memStream.Write(buffer, 0, readCount);
                readCount = ftpStream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
            }
            response.Close();
            ///////////////////////////Uploading///////////////////////////////////////
            string uri1 = String.Format("ftp://{0}/{1}/{2}", "127.0.0.1", string.Empty, ftpInfo[5]);
            FtpWebRequest request1 = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri1);
            request1.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "password");
            request1.KeepAlive = false;
            request1.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
            request1.UseBinary = true;
            request1.ContentLength = memStream.Length;
            int buffLength = 4096;
            byte[] buff = new byte[buffLength];
            int contentLen;

            // Stream to which the file to be upload is written
            Stream strm = request1.GetRequestStream();
            memStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
            contentLen = memStream.Read(buff, 0, buffLength);
            // Till Stream content ends
            while (contentLen != 0)
            {
                // Write Content from the file stream to the FTP Upload Stream
                strm.Write(buff, 0, contentLen);
                contentLen = memStream.Read(buff, 0, buffLength);
            }

            // Close the file stream and the Request Stream
            strm.Close();
            ftpStream.Close();
            memStream.Close();

        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("While Downloading File " + ftpInfo[5] + " " + ex.ToString(), "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
            e.Result = null;
            return;
        }

There maybe nothing wrong with your code. That error is a Permissions error.
