    private bool UploadToFTP(string strFTPFilePath,string strLocalFilePath,string strUserName, string strPassword)

    {

        try

        {

            //Create a FTP Request Object and Specfiy a Complete Path

            FtpWebRequest reqObj = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(strFTPFilePath);

            //Call A FileUpload Method of FTP Request Object

            reqObj.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;

            //If you want to access Resourse Protected You need to give User Name and PWD

            reqObj.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(strUserName, strPassword);

            // Copy the contents of the file to the byte array.

            byte[] fileContents = File.ReadAllBytes(strLocalFilePath);

            reqObj.ContentLength = fileContents.Length;

            //Upload File to FTPServer

            Stream requestStream = reqObj.GetRequestStream();

            requestStream.Write(fileContents, 0, fileContents.Length);

            requestStream.Close();

            FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)reqObj.GetResponse();

            response.Close();

        }

        catch (Exception Ex)

        {      

            // report error

            throw Ex;

        }

  } 

//Calling the Funtion:-

UploadToFTP("ftp://9.2.2.100/aa/samp.txt", Server.MapPath(@"File/Graph.xls"), "uid", "pwd");

//Or you can upload through WebClient here is code:-

 

private void UploadToFTPFromWEBCLIENT()

    {

        WebClient wc = new WebClient();

        Uri uriadd = new Uri(@"ftp://9.2.2.100/aa/samp.txt");

        wc.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("UName", "PWD");

        wc.UploadFile(uriadd, Server.MapPath(@"File/Graph.xls"));
