I'm using some sample code posted on msdn to enable ftp in my
application.  I keep getting a Gateway Timeout error when I try to run
this code despite the fact that I attempt to access the test ftp site
via the browser on my local machine, browser in Visual Studio or
through any ftp client, I am able to login to the site from the same
machine I'm developing on.  Does anyone know if there is a
configuration setting in Studio that I need to set?  Alternatively,
can anyone see if there is a problem with my code (see below) - any
assistance would be greatly appreciated (aaron.c.al***@gmail.com):



    class Class1
    {

        public static void Main(string[] args){
            Class1 x = new Class1();
            x.UserName = "-";
            x.Password = "-";


            System.Uri uri = new Uri("ftp://[serverip]//test.txt");
            //FtpStatusCode x =
            x.Download("c:\\sql.txt", uri);
        }

        public FtpStatusCode Download(string destinationFile, Uri
downloadUri)
        //public FtpStatusCode Download(string destinationFile, Uri
downloadUri)
        {
            try
            {
                // Check if the URI is and FTP site
                if (downloadUri.Scheme != Uri.UriSchemeFtp)
                {
                    throw new ArgumentException("URI is not an FTp
site");
                }

                // Set up the request
                FtpWebRequest ftpRequest =
(FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(downloadUri);

                // use the provided credentials
                if (this._isAnonymousUser == false)
                {
                    ftpRequest.Credentials = new
NetworkCredential(this._userName, this._password);
                }

                // Download a file. Look at the other methods to see
all of the potential FTP features
                ftpRequest.Method =
WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;

                // get the response object
                FtpWebResponse ftpResponse =
(FtpWebResponse)ftpRequest.GetResponse();


                Stream stream = null;
                StreamReader reader = null;
                StreamWriter writer = null;

                // get the file as a stream from the response object
and write it as
                // a file stream to the local PC
                try
                {
                    stream = ftpResponse.GetResponseStream();
                    reader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.UTF8);

                    writer = new StreamWriter(destinationFile, false);
                    writer.Write(reader.ReadToEnd());

                    return ftpResponse.StatusCode;
                }
                finally
                {
                    // Allways close all streams
                    stream.Close();
                    reader.Close();
                    writer.Close();
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
        }

        public string UserName
        {
            get { return this._userName; }
            set { this._userName = value; }
        }
        public string Password
        {
            get { return this._password; }
            set { this._password = value; }
        }
        public bool IsAnonymousUser
        {
            get { return this._isAnonymousUser; }
            set { this._isAnonymousUser = value; }
        }

        private string _userName;
        private string _password;
        private bool _isAnonymousUser;


    }
