  1. POC# Check if FTP Directory EXISTS
    text
    copied!<p>I have this FTP Method that checks if a directory exists. It works fine at the start, but now, it's still returning true even if the directory does not exists. I tried many things, and set breakpoint to see what property of the response object I can use to determine whether the directory exists or not. I also searched the internet and the solutions don't seem to work for me. Here is my FTP method.</p> <pre><code>public bool directoryExists(string directory) { /* Create an FTP Request */ ftpRequest = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(host + "/" + directory); /* Log in to the FTP Server with the User Name and Password Provided */ ftpRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pass); /* Specify the Type of FTP Request */ ftpRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails; try { using (ftpRequest.GetResponse()) { return true; } //var response = ftpRequest.GetResponse(); //if (response != null) // return true; //else return false; } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); return false; } /* Resource Cleanup */ finally { ftpRequest = null; } } </code></pre> <p>And here is the method that calls it and returns true even if the directory does not exist:</p> <pre><code>private string getDirectory(ref FtpClass ftp, string internalID) { string remoteSubPathDel = internalID + "\\trunk\\prod\\xml\\delete"; string remoteSubPathUpdate = internalID + "\\trunk\\prod\\xml\\update"; string remoteSubPathNew = internalID + "\\trunk\\prod\\xml\\new"; if (ftp.directoryExists(remoteSubPathDel)) return remoteSubPathDel; else if (ftp.directoryExists(remoteSubPathUpdate)) return remoteSubPathUpdate; else if (ftp.directoryExists(remoteSubPathNew)) return remoteSubPathNew; else return String.Empty; } </code></pre> <p>Hope someone can help. Thanks! :)</p>
