I use this code to connect to FTP Account:

ftpRequest = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(host + "/" + directory);
            /* Log in to the FTP Server with the User Name and Password Provided */
            ftpRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pass);
            /* When in doubt, use these options */
            ftpRequest.Proxy = null;
            ftpRequest.UseBinary = true;
            ftpRequest.UsePassive = true;
            ftpRequest.KeepAlive = true;
            /* Specify the Type of FTP Request */
            ftpRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory;
            /* Establish Return Communication with the FTP Server */
            ftpResponse = (FtpWebResponse)ftpRequest.GetResponse();

I use the same code to connect to 4 accounts and everything is okay except for one. For this account execution always returns this exception: ERROR REMOTE SERVER: (331) 331 User name okay, need password. The strange fact is that with the same credentials i am able to connect with FileZilla, so i am sure to use correct password and username for this account. I can't figure out what causes this problem.

Thank you in advance for any tips.

As Suggested i add below network log of .net and filezilla log. Network log is in italian language. I can see an error that sounds like 'URI REQUESTED IS NOT VALID FOR THIS FTP COMMAND'.

  • can you show what the ftp url looks like I think I may know the cause but need to see what your path looks like can you post that..for example if I am using something like this `string somestr = "ftp://192.168.1.2/somedir/somelog.dat";` correcting the problem by putting `%2Fsomedir/...` should correct in your case.. – MethodMan Nov 20 '15 at 16:30
  • Enable [network tracing](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9664650/output-log-using-ftpwebrequest) and attach the log to your question. A corresponding log file (log file, not message log from the GUI) from FileZilla would help too. – Martin Prikryl Nov 20 '15 at 17:17
