How to upload one file to several different directories using one FtpWebRequest?

Question

I'm using FTP servers on the Load Balanced FTP cluster. I need to put related files to a single server.

Can I upload one file to several different directories by one FtpWebRequest?

Answer 1

You can't. First of all since the ftp protocol is intended to works on request basis, and second, since each FtpWebRequest has a specific path, you need to create a request for each directory in which you want to upload.

Answer 2

I've resolved this issue using KeepAlive property of FtpWebRequest. While KeepAlive is true all files from different requests will be uploaded to a single server.
