You need to access server by using username & password. Refer below code using System; using System.IO; using System.Net; using System.Text; namespace Examples.System.Net { public class WebRequestGetExample { public static void Main() { // Get the object used to communicate with the server. FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create( "ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/standards/RFC/" ); request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails; // This example assumes the FTP site uses anonymous logon. request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential( "anonymous" , "janeDoe@contoso.com" ); FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream); while (!reader.EndOfStream) { String filename = reader.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine(filename); //you now have the file name, you can use it to download this specific file } Console.WriteLine( "Directory List Complete, status {0}" , response.StatusDescription); reader.Close(); response.Close(); } } }

private bool CheckIfFileExistsOnServer(string fileName) { var request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://www.server.com/" + fileName); request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password"); request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetFileSize; try { FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); return true; } catch (WebException ex) { FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)ex.Response; if (response.StatusCode == FtpStatusCode.ActionNotTakenFileUnavailable) return false; } return false; }
