You're missing a call to GetResponse on the FtpWebRequest instance. The request won't be sent until you call GetResponse.

Something like this:

Private Function UploadToFTP(ByVal fileToUpload As HttpPostedFile) As Boolean
Try
Dim uploadUrl As String = "ftp://........................."
Dim uploadFileName As String = fileToUpload.FileName

  Using streamObj As Stream = fileToUpload.InputStream
     Dim buffer As \[Byte\]() = New \[Byte\](fileToUpload.ContentLength - 1) {}
     streamObj.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
  End Using
  
  Dim ftpUrl As String = String.Format("{0}/{1}", uploadUrl, uploadFileName)
  Dim requestObj As FtpWebRequest = TryCast(FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpUrl), FtpWebRequest)
  requestObj.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile
  requestObj.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("UserID", "Password")
  
  Using requestStream As Stream = requestObj.GetRequestStream()
     requestStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
     requestStream.Flush()
  End Using
  
  Using responseObj As FtpWebResponse = TryCast(requestObj.GetResponse(), FtpWebResponse)
     ' TODO: Look at responseObj.StatusCode to see if the upload succeeded
  End Using
  
  Return True

Catch ex As Exception
Return False
End Try
End Function

HTTP Error 404.13 - Not Found
The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that exceeds the request content length.

That's not a problem uploading the file to the FTP site; it's a problem uploading the file to your ASP.NET page. You'll need to change the IIS configuration to allow large uploads. http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2008/01/08/large-file-uploads-in-asp-net.aspx[^]

You need to tell us what web server your using, IIS6 requires the metabase editor to change one of the values, I think max request length, under IIS/Defaults. So you can change the value in Web.config, but the metabase supersedes the web.config overall. IIS7 was a e bit easier it doesn't use metabase, there's a config file in IISAdmin folder, in system32, that you just edit. After you edit it, I think it changes a more complex structure in the background. [Edit] I messed with the upload limit for years, and tried everything, but the limit is the limit. I'm not sure about FTP, I have changed my servers to 1 gig, which is the limit for Server 2003, but you have to login to do it. I ended up using Uploadify, which works pretty good. The metabase editor is available in the IIS resource kit, an old download from microsoft.
