WebClient for downloading and uploading file

Question

Hi All,
We are trying to download and upload a file to a device using HTTPS protocol using the 'WebClient' class from C#. It uses .Net framework 4.5. Once we download to the device or upload a file from the device, we get a JSON response from the device which we need to capture. The problem is that the method 'DownloadFile' does not return any response and the method 'UploadFile' returns a byte array.
Is there any way that we can receive a JSON response using the 'DownloadFile' and 'UploadFile' methods present in the 'WebClient' class?

Please let us know about this. Thank you in advance.

        {
            for (int i = 0; i < hfc.Count; i++)
            {
                HttpPostedFile hpf = hfc[i];
                if (hpf.ContentLength > 0)
                {
                    hpf.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("MyFiles") + "\\" +
                      System.IO.Path.GetFileName(hpf.FileName));
                    Response.Write("<b>File: </b>" + hpf.FileName + "  <b>Size:</b> " +
