I am trying to log in to the ftp server. Using the following code in C #.
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://ftp-server"); request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails; // This example assumes the FTP site uses anonymous logon. //request.AuthenticationLevel = System.Net.Security.AuthenticationLevel.MutualAuthRequired; request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("userName", "password!#Β£"); FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
However, the login fails when the password contains some special characters. for example ('!' or 'Β£')? I get the following exception.
Unhandled Exception: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (530) Not logged in. at System.Net.FtpWebRequest.SyncRequestCallback(Object obj) at System.Net.FtpWebRequest.RequestCallback(Object obj) at System.Net.CommandStream.Dispose(Boolean disposing) at System.IO.Stream.Close() at System.IO.Stream.Dispose() at System.Net.ConnectionPool.Destroy(PooledStream pooledStream) at System.Net.ConnectionPool.PutConnection(PooledStream pooledStream, Object owningObject, Int32 creationTimeout, Bo ean canReuse) at System.Net.FtpWebRequest.FinishRequestStage(RequestStage stage) at System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse() at FtpClientTest.Program.FtpWebRequest()
I do not get an exception when the password does not contain any special characters.
