I want to get the size of a file on an FTP.
//Get File Size
reqSize = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri(FtpPath + filePath));
reqSize.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(Username, Password);
reqSize.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetFileSize;
reqSize.UseBinary = true;
FtpWebResponse respSize = (FtpWebResponse)reqSize.GetResponse();
long size = respSize.ContentLength;
respSize.Close();
I have tried the following but get a 550 error. File not found / no access. However, the following code works...
reqTime = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri(FtpPath + filePath));
reqTime.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(Username, Password);
reqTime.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetDateTimestamp;
reqTime.UseBinary = true;
FtpWebResponse respTime = (FtpWebResponse)reqTime.GetResponse();
DateTime LastModified = respTime.LastModified;
respTime.Close();
EDIT: The reason this isn't working for me is that my FTP Server does not support the SIZE method.
Try reqSize.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetFileSize;
instead of GetDateTimestamp
This worked for me:
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri("ftp://servername/filepath"));
request.Proxy = null;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "password");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetFileSize;
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
long size = response.ContentLength;
response.Close();
//Simplest and Efficient way to Get FTP File Size.
var size = GetFtpFileSize(new Uri("ftpURL"), new NetworkCredential("userName", "password"));
public static long GetFtpFileSize(Uri requestUri, NetworkCredential networkCredential)
{
//Create ftpWebRequest object with given options to get the File Size.
var ftpWebRequest = GetFtpWebRequest(requestUri, networkCredential, WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetFileSize);
try { return ((FtpWebResponse)ftpWebRequest.GetResponse()).ContentLength; } //Incase of success it'll return the File Size.
catch (Exception) { return default(long); } //Incase of fail it'll return default value to check it later.
}
public static FtpWebRequest GetFtpWebRequest(Uri requestUri, NetworkCredential networkCredential, string method = null)
{
var ftpWebRequest = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(requestUri); //Create FtpWebRequest with given Request Uri.
ftpWebRequest.Credentials = networkCredential; //Set the Credentials of current FtpWebRequest.
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(method))
ftpWebRequest.Method = method; //Set the Method of FtpWebRequest incase it has a value.
return ftpWebRequest; //Return the configured FtpWebRequest.
}
