Uploading files greatly depends on what the server protocol is. If you're using HTTP, for example, the
HttpWebRequestalready supports this. Since you're requiring FTP, realize that the current .NET BCL has no FTP support - but don't let that stop you. Some articles on this site and others have simply wrapped the ftp.exe application in a class library. This is dodgy and not very well designed. A proper design - likeHttpWebRequestandHttpWebResponse- would extendWebRequestandWebResponse, classes for pluggable protocols. It just so happens that there's a good example in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3BEN-US%3B812409[^].
