Connect to FTPS with proxy in C#

问题:

My below code works perfectly fine in my computer without proxy. But in client server they need to add proxy to the FTP client (FileZilla) to be able to access the FTP. But When I add proxy it says

SSL cannot be enabled when using a proxy.

FTP proxy

var proxyAddress = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ProxyAddress"];
WebProxy ftpProxy = null;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(proxyAddress))
{
   var proxyUserId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ProxyUserId"];
   var proxyPassword = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ProxyPassword"];
    ftpProxy = new WebProxy
    {
        Address = new Uri(proxyAddress, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute),
        Credentials = new NetworkCredential(proxyUserId, proxyPassword)
    };
 }

FTP connection

var ftpRequest = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(ftpAddress);
ftpRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(
                            username.Normalize(), 
                            password.Normalize()
                         );

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += 
   (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;

ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false;

ftpRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory;
ftpRequest.EnableSsl = true;
//ftpRequest.Proxy = ftpProxy;
var response = (FtpWebResponse)ftpRequest.GetResponse();

回答1:

.NET framework indeed does not support TLS/SSL connections over proxy.

You have to use a 3rd party FTP library.

Also note that your code is not using "implicit" FTPS. It's using "explicit" FTPS. Implicit FTPS is not supported by .NET framework either.

For example with WinSCP .NET assembly, you can use:

// Setup session options
SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions
{
    Protocol = Protocol.Ftp,
    HostName = "example.com",
    UserName = "user",
    Password = "mypassword",
    FtpSecure = FtpSecure.Explicit, // Or .Implicit
};

// Configure proxy
sessionOptions.AddRawSettings("ProxyMethod", "3");
sessionOptions.AddRawSettings("ProxyHost", "proxy");

using (Session session = new Session())
{
    // Connect
    session.Open(sessionOptions);

    var listing = session.ListDirectory(path);
}

For the options for SessionOptions.AddRawSettings, see raw settings.
