I am using a .net console application written in C# to download certain files from an ftp server routinely, it used to work properly until there was a file with Hebrew characters, named something like that:
1234--אבג.jpeg
so I've tried to download the same file using both chrome and FileZilla - and encountered no problems, with neither plain nor URL encoded version of the filename.
My problem is how to download the same file with my C# application
I have tried:
- to escape the name as URL-encoded, worked for chrome but not my APP
- to convert the string to utf-8
- both System.Net.WebRequest and HttpClient
- finding and taking the name from response of directory listing and pasting into the request, hoping it will have the proper format.
here is my code :
public static string attachmentToFile(string name, string filename)
{
try
{
string ftpConnection = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FtpServer"].ToString();
string ftpUser = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FtpUser"].ToString();
string ftpPassword = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FtpPassword"].ToString();
string attachmentPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["attachmentFolder"].ToString();
Directory.CreateDirectory(attachmentPath);
attachmentPath += '\\' + name + Path.GetExtension(filename);
FtpWebRequest attachmentRequest = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(
new Uri(ftpConnection + "/files_directory/" + filename)
);
attachmentRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpUser, ftpPassword);
attachmentRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)attachmentRequest.GetResponse();
var stream = response.GetResponseStream();
FileStream saveStream = new FileStream(attachmentPath, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
//stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
stream.CopyTo(saveStream);
saveStream.Close();
return attachmentPath;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Logger.LogError(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod(), ex, "failed downloading file from server: " + filename);
return null;
}
}
the error is
The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).
while in Filezilla it's successful
