Solution 1

No, FTP doesn't have an "edit mode"
Download it, revise it, upload it again.

It is bad way for me
But can i check my file upload to ftp server or no ?

Sorry? That doesn't make any sense to me.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get to work with exactly what you type.
So that sentence without the context you know around it is pretty meaningless. Please try to explain it in more detail.

Solution 2

You can get the file into a stream without saving it as a file

How to: Download Files with FTP[^]

Not sure if that's what your question was or, as suggested in Solution 1, you want to manipulate files on the ftp server itself, which can't be done.

Solution 3

You cannot do that.

You MUST download the file, do your operations to it and then upload it back to the FTP server.

Bad way? Who cares? You simply don't have a choice.

Are you asking how to verify if the file was uploaded successfully and accurately?

You've already been told what your options are there.

I want to check my file really upload to ftp server or no

Again, you've already been told what your options are, here[^]. Apparently you don't understand them at all?

The proper thing to do would be to reply to that thread, not start a new one.

Solution 5

- Download file to local PC.
- Do whatever you want on local PC.
- if changes are made and you want them on server, upload chabged file to server.
