A URL (which is what your path is) cannot contain spaces or other certain characters, so you have to encode it.

You can use System.Net.WebUtility for this. 

// instead of this: 
// FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://ip address/Requests" + FileName);

// do this: 
string path = System.Net.WebUtility.UrlEncode("ftp://ip address/Requests" + FileName);   
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(path);
