C# How to check if an FTP Directory Exists
- by Billy Logan
Hello Everyone,
Looking for the best way to check for a given directory via FTP.
currently i have the following code:
private bool FtpDirectoryExists(string directory, string username, string password) {
try {
var request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(directory);
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetDateTimestamp;
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)ex.Response;
if (response.StatusCode == FtpStatusCode.ActionNotTakenFileUnavailable)
return false;
else
return true;
}
return true;
}
This returns false whether the directory is there or not. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance,
Billy
