If you want to just directly re-upload the file, simply pipe the download stream to the upload stream:
Dim downloadRequest As FtpWebRequest =
WebRequest.Create("ftp://downloadftp.example.com/source/path/file.txt")
downloadRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile
downloadRequest.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("username1", "password1")
Dim uploadRequest As FtpWebRequest =
WebRequest.Create("ftp://uploadftp.example.com/target/path/file.txt")
uploadRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile
uploadRequest.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("username2", "password2")
Using downloadResponse As FtpWebResponse = downloadRequest.GetResponse(),
sourceStream As Stream = downloadResponse.GetResponseStream(),
targetStream As Stream = uploadRequest.GetRequestStream()
sourceStream.CopyTo(targetStream)
End Using
If you need to process the contents somehow, or if your need to monitor the progress, or both, you have to do it chunk by chunk (or maybe line by line, if it is a text file, that you are processing):
Dim downloadRequest As FtpWebRequest =
WebRequest.Create("ftp://downloadftp.example.com/source/path/file.txt")
downloadRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile
downloadRequest.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("username1", "password1")
Dim uploadRequest As FtpWebRequest =
WebRequest.Create("ftp://uploadftp.example.com/target/path/file.txt")
uploadRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile
uploadRequest.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("username2", "password2")
Using downloadResponse As FtpWebResponse = downloadRequest.GetResponse(),
sourceStream As Stream = downloadResponse.GetResponseStream(),
targetStream As Stream = uploadRequest.GetRequestStream()
Dim buffer As Byte() = New Byte(10240 - 1) {}
Dim read As Integer
Do
read = sourceStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
If read > 0 Then
' process "buffer" here
targetStream.Write(buffer, 0, read)
End If
Loop While read > 0
End Using
