FtpWebRequest only has access to a specific folder
Hello,
I am currently using the below code to upload a file and display progress. It works fine except there are a few things I would like to do differently. I am using the main FTP account for my website which has access to all of my files. I set up a different FTP login to use that only has access to a specific folder, but when I try to use it I get: Error 550 No such file or directory or access denied. This FTP account allows access to: mywebsite.com/upload/users/ only If strFTPAddress = mywebsite.com/upload/users/ I get error 550, I've tried a few other things too and it's told me that it's an invalid URI Basically what I want to know is if and how I might be able to connect using my second FTP account so that I only have access to the upload/users/ directory. Code:
Dim request As FtpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(strFTPAddress & "/" & strNetFile), FtpWebRequest)
request.Timeout = 10000000
request.ReadWriteTimeout = 10000000
request.KeepAlive = False
request.UseBinary = True
request.UsePassive = False
request.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(strUserName, strPassword)
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile
Dim fileContents() As Byte
Using s As New FileStream(strLocalFileOnDisk, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
ReDim fileContents(CInt(s.Length - 1))
s.Read(fileContents, 0, CInt(s.Length))
End Using
request.ContentLength = fileContents.Length
'Try
Dim flags As Boolean = True
Dim currentposition As Long = 0
Dim len As Integer = 0
Dim requestStream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream()
Do While (flags)
lblStatus.Text = "Uploading..."
If ((fileContents.Length - currentposition) > 200) Then
len = 200
Else
len = fileContents.Length - currentposition
End If
requestStream.Write(fileContents, currentposition, len)
currentposition = currentposition + len
progBar.Value = Math.Round(currentposition * 100 / fileContents.Length, 1)
lblLoaded.Text = Math.Round(currentposition / 1024) & "/" & Math.Round(fileContents.Length / 1024) & "kb"
Application.DoEvents()
If (currentposition >= fileContents.Length) Then
flags = False
End If
Loop
requestStream.Close()
Dim response As FtpWebResponse = CType(request.GetResponse(), FtpWebResponse)
response.Close()

Have you tried connecting to the FTP site with ftp.exe? I'm going to assume you get a message that you don't have access to your home directory.

Im not sure how to explain this but i'll try.
When I connect to ftp normally I just use my ftp hostname mywebsite.com Depending on the username and password I put it I am given access to different directories. If I login using a user/pass combo that only lets me access mywebsite.com/upload/users/ that user's home directory is upload/users/ But when I put in the full path ftp://mywebsite.com/upload/users/ and the login info for just upload/users/ it doesn't know what to do with it and gives me an error

Since the user's home directory is ftp://mywebsite.com/upload/users/ they'll automatically be directed there when they log in.
Just use the root of your site and it will work. Ran a quick test on my FTP server and it worked fine with a limited account.
