After a long hiatus, I’m back on the project… the code has been upgraded to VS 2005

Comments and suggestions welcome!

Germinal

I want to send documents generated by a buisiness process to different clients by FTP over SSL. That applicaion is working fine. But a few of the clients do not have FTP server but using secure HTTP (WebDAV). I need to copy files from folders on local drive or IIS virtual folders to remote web site folders.

The code I found on MSDN is for copying files from one folder to another on the same web site. In my case I need to copy it either from a local folder or virtual folder in localhost. In the MSDN code I couldn’t figure out a way of providing different credential for accessing resources from localhost and remote host.
Can someone help me to fix the code. Or can someone suggest a different way of doing it in .NET?

[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
System.Net.HttpWebRequest Request;
System.Net.WebResponse Response;
System.Net.CredentialCache MyCredentialCache;
string strSourceURI = “http://localhost/Extracts/Client1/test.csv”;
string strDestURI = “https://200.150.100.50/Uploads/test.csv”;
string strUserName = “UserName”;
string strPassword = “password”;
string strDomain = “Domain”;

try
{
// Create a new CredentialCache object and fill it with the network
// credentials required to access the server.
MyCredentialCache = new System.Net.CredentialCache();
MyCredentialCache.Add( new System.Uri(strSourceURI),
“NTLM”,
new System.Net.NetworkCredential(strUserName, strPassword, strDomain)
);

// Create the HttpWebRequest object.
Request = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(strSourceURI);

// Add the network credentials to the request.
Request.Credentials = MyCredentialCache;

// Specify the COPY method.
Request.Method = “COPY”;

// Specify the destination URI.
Request.Headers.Add(“Destination”, strDestURI);

// Specify that if a resource already exists at the
// destination URI, it will not be overwritten. The
// server would return a 412 Precondition Failed status code.
Request.Headers.Add(“Overwrite”, “F”);

// Send the COPY method request.
Response = (System.Net.HttpWebResponse)Request.GetResponse();

// Close the HttpWebResponse object.
Response.Close();

Console.WriteLine(“Item successfully copied.”);

}
catch(Exception ex)
{
// Catch any exceptions. Any error codes from the COPY
// method request on the server will be caught here, also.
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
}

Many thanks.

Just thought I would let you know that I have just posted a post on my blog about C# webdav server with SQL backend. I have included the full source so it may be useful to anyone wanting to have a look at how you might go about building something like this. You can check it out at:
