FtpWebRequest: Does the slash matter?

  • Artikkeli

For those of you who are curious: there is indeed a difference when we use the following uris as parameters for our FtpWebRequest class:

ftp://server/ParentDirectory

ftp://server/ParentDirectory/ (Note the slash at the end)

 

Let’s say we want to create a new directory named “new” in "ParentDirectory". With the first uri (without the slash) we issue:

MKD ParentDirectory\new

 

And with the slash at the end we issue

CWD ParentDirectory

MKD new

 

The same model is applicable for all ftp commands that the FtpWebRequest class supports

    This is a current compile of the team's existing blogs on FtpWebRequest. I am going to update it periodically

    Please elaborate it more...I mean what is the difference in both commands?
