## Remarks

> [!IMPORTANT]
>  We don't recommend that you use the `FtpWebRequest` class for new development. For more information and alternatives to `FtpWebRequest`, see [WebRequest shouldn't be used](https://github.com/dotnet/platform-compat/blob/master/docs/DE0003.md) on GitHub.

 To obtain an instance of <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest>, use the <xref:System.Net.WebRequest.Create%2A> method. You can also use the <xref:System.Net.WebClient> class to upload and download information from an FTP server. Using either of these approaches, when you specify a network resource that uses the FTP scheme (for example, `"ftp://contoso.com"`) the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest> class provides the ability to programmatically interact with FTP servers.

 The URI may be relative or absolute. If the URI is of the form `"ftp://contoso.com/%2fpath"` (%2f is an escaped '/'), then the URI is absolute, and the current directory is `/path`. If, however, the URI is of the form `"ftp://contoso.com/path"`, first the .NET Framework logs into the FTP server (using the user name and password set by the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Credentials%2A> property), then the current directory is set to `<UserLoginDirectory>/path`.

 You must have a valid user name and password for the server or the server must allow anonymous logon. You can specify the credentials used to connect to the server by setting the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Credentials%2A> property or you can include them in the <xref:System.Uri.UserInfo%2A> portion of the URI passed to the <xref:System.Net.WebRequest.Create%2A> method. If you include <xref:System.Uri.UserInfo%2A> information in the URI, the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Credentials%2A> property is set to a new network credential with the specified user name and password information.

> [!CAUTION]
>  Unless the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.EnableSsl%2A> property is `true`, all data and commands, including your user name and password information, are sent to the server in clear text. Anyone monitoring network traffic can view your credentials and use them to connect to the server. If you are connecting to an FTP server that requires credentials and supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), you should set <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.EnableSsl%2A> to `true`.

 You must have <xref:System.Net.WebPermission> to access the FTP resource; otherwise, a <xref:System.Security.SecurityException> exception is thrown.

 Specify the FTP command to send to the server by setting the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Method%2A> property to a value defined in the <xref:System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp> structure. To transmit text data, change the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.UseBinary%2A> property from its default value (`true`) to `false`. For details and restrictions, see <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Method%2A>.

 When using an <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest> object to upload a file to a server, you must write the file content to the request stream obtained by calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A> method or its asynchronous counterparts, the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetRequestStream%2A> and <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.EndGetRequestStream%2A> methods. You must write to the stream and close the stream before sending the request.

 Requests are sent to the server by calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A> method or its asynchronous counterparts, the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetResponse%2A> and <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.EndGetResponse%2A> methods. When the requested operation completes, an <xref:System.Net.FtpWebResponse> object is returned. The <xref:System.Net.FtpWebResponse> object provides the status of the operation and any data downloaded from the server.

 You can set a time-out value for reading or writing to the server by using the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.ReadWriteTimeout%2A> property. If the time-out period is exceeded, the calling method throws a <xref:System.Net.WebException> with <xref:System.Net.WebExceptionStatus> set to <xref:System.Net.WebExceptionStatus.Timeout>.

 When downloading a file from an FTP server, if the command was successful, the contents of the requested file are available in the response object's stream. You can access this stream by calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebResponse.GetResponseStream%2A> method. For more information, see <xref:System.Net.FtpWebResponse>.

 If the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Proxy%2A> property is set, either directly or in a configuration file, communications with the FTP server are made through the specified proxy. If the specified proxy is an HTTP proxy, only the <xref:System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile>, <xref:System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory>, and <xref:System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails> commands are supported.

 Only downloaded binary content is cached; that is, content received using the <xref:System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile> command with the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.UseBinary%2A> property set to `true`.

 Multiple <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest>s reuse existing connections, if possible.

 For more information about the FTP protocol, see [RFC 959: File Transfer Protocol](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt).

## Remarks
 You must complete the asynchronous operation by calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.EndGetRequestStream%2A> method. Typically, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.EndGetRequestStream%2A> is called by the method referenced by `callback`. To determine the state of the operation, check the properties in the <xref:System.IAsyncResult> object returned by this method.

 This method does not block while waiting for the stream. To block, call <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A> in place of this method.

## Remarks
 Client certificates are used to authenticate the client during the initial SSL connection negotiation. For more information, see <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.EnableSsl%2A>.

> [!NOTE]
>  The .NET Framework caches SSL sessions as they are created and attempts to reuse a cached session for a new request, if possible. When attempting to reuse an SSL session, the .NET Framework uses the first element of <xref:System.Net.HttpWebRequest.ClientCertificates%2A> (if there is one), or tries to reuse an anonymous session if <xref:System.Net.HttpWebRequest.ClientCertificates%2A> is empty.

## Remarks
 Connection groups associate a set of requests with a particular connection or set of connections. The connections in a connection group can be reused only by requests originating in the same application domain, when the credentials on the request are the same and the request specifies the connection group name. When a request does not specify a connection group name, any existing connection to the requested server that is not associated with a connection group can be used. When the credentials are not the same, the existing connection is closed and the new request must be reauthenticated.

 Using connection groups can improve performance because this allows all of the requests for a user to reuse the connection authenticated with the user's credentials.

 Changing the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.ConnectionGroupName%2A> property after calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A>, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetRequestStream%2A>, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A>, or <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetResponse%2A> method causes an <xref:System.InvalidOperationException> exception.

## Remarks
 Set the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.ContentOffset%2A> property when downloading a file from an FTP server. This offset indicates the position in the server's file that marks the start of the data to be downloaded. The offset is specified as the number of bytes from the start of the file; the offset of the first byte is zero.

 Setting <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.ContentOffset%2A> causes the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest> to send a restart (`REST`) command to the server. This command is ignored by most FTP server implementations if you are uploading data to the server.

 Changing <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.ContentOffset%2A> after calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A>, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetRequestStream%2A>, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A>, or <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetResponse%2A> method causes an <xref:System.InvalidOperationException> exception.



## Examples
 The following code example demonstrates downloading part of a file from a server and appending the downloaded data to a local file.

## Remarks
 You are not required to specify credentials when connecting using anonymous logon. You must set the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Credentials%2A> property by using a credential of type <xref:System.Net.NetworkCredential>; this ensures that the user name and password can be read and sent to the server.

> [!CAUTION]
>  Credentials information is not encrypted when transmitted to the server unless the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.EnableSsl%2A> property is set to `true`.

 Changing <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Credentials%2A> after calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A>, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetRequestStream%2A>, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A>, or <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetResponse%2A> method causes an <xref:System.InvalidOperationException> exception.



## Examples
 The following code example retrieves the value of this property and uses it to display the user name.

## Remarks
 Only content received using the <xref:System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile> command is cached.

 The following table describes the effects of FTP caching policies on <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest>.

|Policy|Effect|
|------------|------------|
|<xref:System.Net.Cache.RequestCacheLevel.Default>|Returns the cached resource if the resource is fresh, the content length is accurate, and the expiration, modification, and content length attributes are present.|
|<xref:System.Net.Cache.RequestCacheLevel.BypassCache>|Returns the resource from the server.|
|<xref:System.Net.Cache.RequestCacheLevel.CacheOnly>|Returns the cached resource if the content length is present and matches the entry size; otherwise, throws a <xref:System.Net.WebException>.|
|<xref:System.Net.Cache.RequestCacheLevel.CacheIfAvailable>|Returns the cached resource if the content length is provided and matches the entry size; otherwise, the resource is downloaded from the server and is returned to the caller.|
|<xref:System.Net.Cache.RequestCacheLevel.Revalidate>|Returns the cached resource if the timestamp of the cached resource is the same as the time stamp of the resource on the server; otherwise, the resource is downloaded from the server, stored in the cache, and returned to the caller.|
|<xref:System.Net.Cache.RequestCacheLevel.Reload>|Downloads the resource from the server, stores it in the cache, and returns the resource to the caller.|
|<xref:System.Net.Cache.RequestCacheLevel.NoCacheNoStore>|If a cached resource exists, it is deleted. The resource is downloaded from the server and is returned to the caller.|

## Remarks

> [!CAUTION]
>  Unless the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.EnableSsl%2A> property is `true`, all data and commands, including your user name and password information, are sent to the server in clear text. Anyone monitoring network traffic can view your credentials and use them to connect to the server. If you are connecting to an FTP server that requires credentials and supports SSL, you should set <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.EnableSsl%2A> to `true`.

 The `"AUTH TLS"` command is sent to the server to request an encrypted session. If the server does not recognize this command, you receive a <xref:System.Net.WebException> exception.



## Examples
 The following code example uses an encrypted connection to download the directory listing from an FTP server.

## Remarks
 Set the request properties before calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A> method. After writing the data to the stream, you must close the stream prior to sending the request.

 If you have not set the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Method%2A> property to <xref:System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile> or <xref:System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.AppendFile>, you cannot get the stream.

 <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A> blocks while waiting for the stream. To prevent this, call the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetRequestStream%2A> method in place of <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A>.

## Remarks
 To access the FTP-specific properties, you must cast the <xref:System.Net.WebResponse> object returned by this method to <xref:System.Net.FtpWebResponse>.

 <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A> causes a control connection to be established, and might also create a data connection. <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A> blocks until the response is received. To prevent this, you can perform this operation asynchronously by calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetResponse%2A> and <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.EndGetResponse%2A> methods in place of <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A>.

 If the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Proxy%2A> property is set, either directly or in a configuration file, communications with the FTP server are made through the proxy.

 If a <xref:System.Net.WebException> is thrown, use the <xref:System.Net.WebException.Response%2A> and <xref:System.Net.WebException.Status%2A> properties of the exception to determine the response from the server.

 This member outputs trace information when you enable network tracing in your application. For more information, see [Network Tracing in the .NET Framework](/dotnet/framework/network-programming/network-tracing).

> [!NOTE]
>  Multiple calls to <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A> return the same response object; the request is not reissued.



## Examples
 The following code example demonstrates copying a file to a request's data stream and sending a request to append data to a file to the server. The example calls <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A> to send the request and block until the response is returned by the server.

## Remarks
 The <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Method%2A> property determines which command is sent to the server. You set the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Method%2A> by using the strings defined in the public field members of the <xref:System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp> class. Note that the strings defined in the <xref:System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp> class are the only supported options for the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Method%2A> property. Setting the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Method%2A> property to any other value will result in an <xref:System.ArgumentException> exception.

 When setting <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Method%2A> to <xref:System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile>, you must do so before calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A> method. Failure to call these members in the correct order causes a <xref:System.Net.ProtocolViolationException> exception when you attempt to get the request stream.

 The credentials supplied for the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest> object must have permission to perform the specified method. If not, the FTP command fails.

 To determine the success or failure of a command, check the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebResponse.StatusCode%2A> and <xref:System.Net.FtpWebResponse.StatusDescription%2A> properties.



## Examples
 The following code example sets this property to <xref:System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DeleteFile>.

## Remarks
 The <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.ReadWriteTimeout%2A> is used when writing to the stream returned by the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A> method or reading from the stream returned by the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebResponse.GetResponseStream%2A> method.

 Specifically, the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.ReadWriteTimeout%2A> property controls the time-out for the <xref:System.IO.Stream.Read%2A> method, which is used to read the stream returned by the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebResponse.GetResponseStream%2A> method, and for the <xref:System.IO.Stream.Write%2A> method, which is used to write to the stream returned by the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A> method. If the time-out period is exceeded, the calling method throws a <xref:System.Net.WebException> with <xref:System.Net.WebExceptionStatus> set to <xref:System.Net.WebExceptionStatus.Timeout>.

 To specify the amount of time to wait for the request to complete, use the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Timeout%2A> property.

        <value>An <see cref="T:System.Int32" /> value that contains the number of milliseconds to wait before a request times out. The default value is <see cref="F:System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite" />.</value>
        <remarks>
          <format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[

## Remarks
 To specify an infinite value, set the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Timeout%2A> property to <xref:System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite> (-1). This is the default value.

 <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Timeout%2A> is the number of milliseconds that a synchronous request made with the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A> method waits for a response and that the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A> method waits for a stream. If a resource does not respond within the time-out period, the request throws a <xref:System.Net.WebException> with the <xref:System.Net.WebException.Status%2A> property set to <xref:System.Net.WebExceptionStatus.Timeout>.

 Changing <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Timeout%2A> after calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A>, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetRequestStream%2A>, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A>, or <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetResponse%2A> method causes an <xref:System.InvalidOperationException> exception.

 A Domain Name System (DNS) query may take up to 15 seconds to return or time out. If your request contains a host name that requires resolution and you set <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Timeout%2A> to a value less than 15 seconds, it may take 15 seconds or more before a <xref:System.Net.WebException> is thrown to indicate a time-out on your request.

## Remarks
 If you are sending binary data, such as an image, set this property to `true`. If you are sending text, set the property to `false`. Specifying `true` causes the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest> to send a `"TYPE I"` command to the server. Specifying `false` causes the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest> to send a `"Type A"` command to the server. FTP servers can ignore these commands.

 Changing <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.UseBinary%2A> after calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A>, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetRequestStream%2A>, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A>, or <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetResponse%2A> method causes an <xref:System.InvalidOperationException> exception.

## Remarks
 Setting the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.UsePassive%2A> property to `true` sends the "`PASV"` command to the server. This command requests the server to listen on a data port and to wait for a connection rather than initiate one upon receipt of a transfer command.

 For a description of the behaviors that are specified using <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.UsePassive%2A>, see [RFC 959: "File Transfer Protocol", Section 3.2: "Establishing Data Connections" and Section 4.1.2: "Transfer Parameter Commands"](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt).

 Changing <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.UsePassive%2A> after calling the <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream%2A>, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetRequestStream%2A>, <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse%2A>, or <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.BeginGetResponse%2A> method causes an <xref:System.InvalidOperationException> exception.

 If <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.UsePassive%2A> is set to `true`, the FTP server may not send the size of the file, and download progress can always be zero. If <xref:System.Net.FtpWebRequest.UsePassive%2A> is set to `false`, a firewall can raise an alert and block the file download.
