How to implement an FTP client when using a Filezilla server on the same computer

Hello my final target will be to write a program to send files through sftp to ax external server.

In order to understand I decided before to go through ftp working with Filezilla server. So my idea was writing a client uploading the file C:\temp\Test\AAA\aaa.txt ---> to filezilla server and from here directly down to filesystem in another location. Is this reasoning valid or do I need a remote server space?

enter image description here

Hoping that this works I have tried to implement it using FileZilla Server and writing the client.

using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
    // open connection with connection-strings
    client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("User1", "Password1");
    // upload zip-file on server
    client.UploadFile("ftp://localhost/C:/Temp/Test/BBB.txt" + "", WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile, "C:\\temp\\Test\\AAA.txt");
}

The problem is that when I run the code I get

System.Net.WebException: 'The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).'

I understand I am confused but I have not found any example of both client and server on the same computer.

Thanks

---ADD--- Following Chris Berlin's request I noticed that Filezilla reacts to the request by showing this

enter image description here

so the problem really is related to the wrong path

Actually I never got to work on localhost.

You can try that code that works but my hint as said is to work on a remote site:

string myFile = @"C:\temp\Test\aaa.txt";
string strAddress = "ftp://ipAddress:21/TestRemoteFolder/bbb.txt";


FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(strAddress);
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("myLogin","mypwd");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;

using (Stream fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(myFile))
using (Stream ftpStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
    fileStream.CopyTo(ftpStream);
}
