Answer 1

Why not just upload it with the correct filename in stead? Change your first line with the filename you actually want.

FtpWebRequest requestFTP = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri("ftp://" + ftpServer + "/" + "httpdocs/webroot/" + destination + "/" + newFileName));

But do open the reading stream from your old filename.

Answer 2

RenameTo is a property, not a method. Your code should read:

// requestFTP has been set to null in the previous line
requestFTP = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri("ftp://" + ftpServer + "/" + "httpdocs/webroot/" + destination + "/" + fileName));
requestFTP.Proxy = null;
requestFTP.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpUser, ftpPassword);

string newFilename = fileName.Replace(".ftp", "");
requestFTP.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.Rename;
requestFTP.RenameTo = newFilename;
requestFTP.GetResponse();
