I cant connect FTP Server

Question

When I was trying to connect FTP Server in browser or .NET, I can't connect. Bu When I was using Filezilla, I connect, and upload/donwnload files. I tried the following options.

1- When I try with Filezilla, I connect. 2- I did tracert in cmd and I got the error 'Destination host unreachable'. And I opened Telnet Client in windows features. But this time I got error 'Rewuest timed out.' 3- I closed Windows firewall but still the same.

By the way, Ftp server name is starting with sftp. Could it be related to this? Why is this happening?

Answer 1

SFTP and FTP are totally different protocols. Filezilla supports both, that's why it connects. SFTP is a protocol that is run over SSH usually on port 22.

FTPWebRequest doesn't support SFTP protocol. There exist many third-party components for SFTP, including our SecureBlackbox (free license for SFTP is available), SSH.NET on codeplex etc..
