FTP File Upload with HTTP Proxy

Question

Is there a way to upload a file to a FTP server when behind an HTTP proxy ?

It seems that uploading a file is not supported behind an HTTP Proxy using .Net Webclient

Hi I had the same issue - the resolution was to create the proxy object and derive the defaultcredentials - this should be fine provided your application is been run with a network account -

FtpWebRequest reqFTP = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri(uri));

System.Net.WebProxy proxy = System.Net.WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy();
proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// set the ftpWebRequest proxy
reqFTP.Proxy = proxy;

This resolved the issue for me.
