Hi

I'm having a lot of problems with the FtpWebRequest object in the RTM
release of .Net 2.0

I'm trying to upload a file to a unix based system. However it fails from
code while regular ftp clients can complete the command fine

including the ftp command line.

I've compiled trace of the ftp connections from both the code and client,
connecting to both a Microsoft Ftp Server and my target system.

The traces are included below

From the traces it appears the FtpWebRequest object is trying to issue a CWD
command which results in an error, "550 Expected a comma or

a semicolon. (CIERR 10125)".

Please can someone help in identifying a way round this, i'm not sure why
the CWD command is issued as the client does not issue this

command.

Thanks in advance,

stockwep
