Read file from FTP to memory in C#

Question

I want to read a file from a FTP server without downloading it to a local file. I wrote a function but it does not work:

private string GetServerVersion()
{
         


        

Answer 1

It is impossible to know what the issue is without details about the error/exception.

At a guess, you do not seem to be assigning a new value to version after the initial declaration

string version = "";

Try changing your code to

version = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(newFileData);
