I think I have some memory issue with a function that should download a file from ftp server. The reason that I think it's a memory thing is because it works fine during debug (maybe it gives the garbage collector more time). Yet I thought that the using should solve this...
Just to be clear the function works when called once yet calling it several times in a for loop invokes the err message: 550 The specified network name is no longer available.
Please help Asaf
private void downloadFile(string sourceFile, string targetFolder)
{
string remoteFile = sourceFile.Replace("\\","//");
string localFolder = targetFolder + "\\" + sourceFile.Substring(sourceFile.LastIndexOf("\\")+1);
string filename = "ftp://" + ftpServerIP + "//" + remoteFile;
FtpWebRequest ftpReq = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(filename);
ftpReq.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
ftpReq.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpUserID, ftpPassword);
ftpReq.UseBinary = true;
ftpReq.Proxy = null;
ftpReq.KeepAlive = false; //'3. Settings and action
try
{
using (System.Net.FtpWebResponse response = (System.Net.FtpWebResponse)(ftpReq.GetResponse()))
{
using (System.IO.Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
using (System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(localFolder, System.IO.FileMode.Create))
{
Byte[] buffer = new byte[2047];
int read = 0;
do
{
read = responseStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
fs.Write(buffer, 0, read);
} while (read == 0);
responseStream.Close();
fs.Flush();
fs.Close();
}
responseStream.Close();
}
response.Close();
}
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)ex.Response;
Console.Out.WriteLine(response.StatusDescription);
}
