Uploading PostedFile to FTP

I am needing to upload a posted file to an FTP file location in my controller.

Here is what I have now.

  public  ActionResult Upload(HttpPostedFileBase file)
    {     
            string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
            FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://10.10.0.3"+"/"+fileName);
            request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;

            request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

            StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(file.InputStream);

            byte[] fileContents = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(streamReader.ReadToEnd());
            streamReader.Close();
            request.ContentLength = fileContents.Length;

            Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
            requestStream.Write(fileContents, 0, fileContents.Length);
            requestStream.Close();

            FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();


       .....

    }

The file is being uploaded, it has the correct number of pages, however there is no text in the new file. (these are pdfs, I will do validation on the type later, just trying to get it to work now).

Thanks!

You are reading PDF file as if they were text files. Instead try this.

var sourceStream = file.InputStream;
requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
request.ContentLength = sourceStream.Length;
byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
int bytesRead = sourceStream.Read(buffer, 0, BUFFER_SIZE);
do
{
  requestStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
  bytesRead = sourceStream.Read(buffer, 0, BUFFER_SIZE);
} while (bytesRead > 0);
sourceStream.Close();
requestStream.Close();
response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
