Hi,

I am logging on FTP server with following code:

C#

filename = "Test.xml";
MyFtpWebRequest = (FtpWebRequest)(WebRequest.Create(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ftpPath"].ToString()+filename));
MyFtpWebRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["User"].ToString(), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Password"].ToString());
MyFtpWebRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate(object s, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors) { return true; };
MyFtpWebRequest.EnableSsl = true;
MyFtpWebRequest.UseBinary = true;

Which is working fine. But while logging on another FTP Server with same code i m getting error - "Unable to connect to the remote server". However the login details are correct.
It is worthwhile to mention here that another ftp details of PHP website. Let me know if here is any other method to log on PHP website or here is any error in above code

Regards!
Aman

Double check the connection settings (not just the login details) to make sure you are connecting to this second server properly. Particularly look at things like SSL and file paths.

Also, have a look in the other properties of the exception being thrown (assuming an exception is being thrown). It may contain additional information that gives you a hint to the problem.

The website being built with PHP shouldn't make a difference. In fact, PHP should have nothing to do with the FTP parts of the website. However, if one is a Linux server and one is a Windows server, you may find different connection settings are required.
