You can use My namepsace to upload to FTP server also by passing
credentials if required in the same code syntax:

"My.Computer.Network.UploadFile" method

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but this is how I am
uploading a file to my ftp site.

       'Variables
       Dim local_file As String = path & filename
       Dim remote_file As String = ftpsite & filename
       Dim cls_request As System.Net.FtpWebRequest =
DirectCast(System.Net.WebRequest.Create(remote_file),
System.Net.FtpWebRequest)
       Dim user_name As String = user
       Dim password As String = password

       'Establish credentials for logging into ftp site
       cls_request.Credentials = New
System.Net.NetworkCredential(user_name, password)

       'Set properties
       cls_request.KeepAlive = False
       cls_request.Proxy = Nothing
       cls_request.Method =
System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile
       cls_request.UseBinary = True

       'Read in the file
       Dim b_file() As Byte = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(local_file)

       'Upload the file
       Dim cls_stream As System.IO.Stream =
cls_request.GetRequestStream()
       cls_stream.Write(b_file, 0, b_file.Length)
       cls_stream.Close()
       cls_stream.Dispose()

This does overwrite files if they already exist.

Hope this helps,

Got it to work!

Turns out there was a problem with the URL that I was given.  Once I had the
appropriate syntax, I was OK.

By the way, is there any reason one would use:

My.Computer.Network.UploadFile

vs.

the more verbose FtpWebRequest?

It seems that the My.Computer.Network.UploadFile method is very concise and
elegant.  However, if more control is required, the latter may be a better
choice.  But if all one really needs to do is upload, wouldn't the first be
a better choice?

Thanks,

Todd
