C# FTP 550 error

Question

I\'m trying to programatically download a file in C# via FTP, here is the relevant code (obviously with fake credntials and URI):

try
{
    var request = Ftp         


        

Answer 1

Put another slash at the beginning of the local path part (after hostname:port):

var request = FtpWebRequest.Create("ftp://ftp.mydomain.com//folder/file.zip");

This has worked for me.
