cannot upload files to ftp asp.net

Question

I have problem with creating files on ftp from production server. Following code is working fine on my development server, but when I move my code to production server on site where I have bought hosting it gives error

Code

string fullname = Convert.ToString(TxtBx_FullName.Text);

if (FU_Img.HasFile)
{
    string ftpUrl = "";

    HttpPostedFile userPostFile = FU_Img.PostedFile;
    string uploadUrl = @"ftp://abc/upload/u" + fullname;
    string uploadFileName = Path.GetFileName(FU_Img.FileName);
    uploadFileName = "image." + uploadFileName.Split('.')[1];


    Stream streamObj = userPostFile.InputStream;
    Byte[] buffer = new Byte[userPostFile.ContentLength];
    streamObj.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
    streamObj.Close();
    streamObj = null;
    // FtpWebResponse CreateForderResponse;
    if (!GetAllFilesList(uploadUrl, "xyz", "******"))
    {
         FtpWebRequest ftp = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(uploadUrl);
         ftp.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.MakeDirectory;
         ftp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("xyz", "******");
         FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)ftp.GetResponse();
    }
    //if (CreateForderResponse.StatusCode == FtpStatusCode.PathnameCreated)


    ftpUrl = string.Format("{0}/{1}", uploadUrl, uploadFileName);

    FtpWebRequest requestObj = FtpWebRequest.Create(ftpUrl) as FtpWebRequest;
    requestObj.KeepAlive = false;
    requestObj.UseBinary = true;
    requestObj.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
    requestObj.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("xxxx", "xxxxxx");

    Stream requestStream = requestObj.GetRequestStream(); <----- error
    requestStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
    requestStream.Flush();
    requestStream.Close();
    requestObj = null;

What I found was to false the attribute KeepAlive, but did not work. Where I am going wrong?

the following solution worked out for me.

private bool FtpUpload(FileUpload file, string ftpServer, string username, string ftpPass, string domainName = "")
    {
        // ftp://domain\user:password@ftpserver/url-path
        // If you are a member of a domain, then "ftp://domain-name\username:password@url-path" may fail because the backslash (\) is sent in as a literal character and Internet Explorer incorrectly looks for a file instead of parsing a Web address. Changing the backslash (\) in the domain-name\username to domainname%5Cusername works correctly.

        try
        {
            string ftpAddres;
            if (domainName != string.Empty)
                ftpAddres = "ftp://" + domainName + @"%5C" + username + ":" + ftpPass + "@" + ftpServer + "/" + file.FileName;
            else
                ftpAddres = "ftp://" + username + ":" + ftpPass + "@" + ftpServer + "/" + file.FileName;

            using (var webClient = new System.Net.WebClient())
            {
                webClient.UploadData(new Uri(ftpAddres), file.FileBytes);
            }

        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            throw new Exception(e.Message, e);
        }
        return true;
    }
