Vb 2005 ftp ssl

[Jamesxyz1234]

I wrote a small ftp program to transfer a file FTP.
I want to use FTP over SSL, but when I enable the SSL property, I still get connection errors. My connection script worked fine as ftp, but I'm not sure if I have to exchange a certificate now, or if it should be automatic???

Anyone know where i can find some sample code for this??

Thanks

..I can submit the code, and i dont care what i connnect to for testing as long as its ssl-ftp.

Imports System.Net

Imports System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates
'System.Net.FtpWebRequest.EnableSsl



Public Class Form1



Private Sub Uploader1(ByVal source As String, ByVal target As String, _
ByVal credential As NetworkCredential)
Dim request As FtpWebRequest = _
DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(target), FtpWebRequest)
Dim tempCert As X509CertificateCollection

request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile
request.Credentials = credential
request.EnableSsl = True '***********************

tempCert = request.ClientCertificates
request.ClientCertificates = tempCert

Dim reader As New FileStream(source, FileMode.Open)
Dim buffer(Convert.ToInt32(reader.Length - 1)) As Byte
reader.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
reader.Close()
request.ContentLength = buffer.Length
Dim stream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream
stream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
stream.Close()
Dim response As FtpWebResponse = DirectCast(request.GetResponse, FtpWebResponse)

MsgBox((response.ExitMessage))
response.Close()
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim credential As New NetworkCredential("test", "test")

Try this:

Found it using google codesearch:

i looked at the zip. It doesnt look like they are exchanging any certificates. Anyone know of a simple sftp program i can test it on? Maybe the one i was using was the problem.

The first one that comes to mind is ipswitch WS_FTP (there is an eval)

I don't think FtpWebRequest is able to support SSL connections. What is unclear is whether it is using implicit or explicit SSL, which may be part of the problem.

you might want to look at the following ftp .net api. It supports both implicit and explicit SSL connections so may work for you.
