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

Here is what I use, I bet the .Method is the main thing you are missing

        request = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(address);
        request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
        request.UsePassive = true;
        request.UseBinary = true;
        request.Proxy = null;

        request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
        FtpWebResponse dataResponce = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
