Dear Dharmendr,

I have already gone through the links before and are not much of a use in my case.

But above all i really appreciate your help & support.

Thanks.

Dear All,

I have achieved the same by using SFTP instead of FTP .

I dont know why it was not happening using FTP .

But through SFTP I achieved it.

Thanks.

Hi ShaibaazS,

As you have solved by your self, so please share the solution with us so this can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

Yes I will be posting the answer .

For time being for whom ever who comes accross this situation

1. Configure a SFTP Server on Ubuntu Machine.
2. In my case I have mapped Local IP to a Static IP for the Ubuntu machine by forwarding port "22" on  my router. Port "22" is the default port for configuring SFTP Server.
3. I have added "Renci.SshNet" reference from NuGet Packet Manager. For I have to add the following namesapces.

   using Renci.SshNet;
   using Renci.SshNet.Common;
   using Renci.SshNet.Sftp;

4. Also I have referred to the follwing Link: http://www.csidata.com/?page_id=2828
5. Please find the below Source Code for the same.

using System.IO;
using Renci.SshNet;
using Renci.SshNet.Common;
using Renci.SshNet.Sftp;
 
String Host = "ftp.csidata.com";
int Port = 22;
String RemoteFileName = "TheDataFile.txt";
String LocalDestinationFilename = "TheDataFile.txt";
String Username = "yourusername";
String Password = "yourpassword";
 
using (var sftp = new SftpClient(Host, Port, Username, Password))
{
    sftp.Connect();
 
    using (var file = File.OpenWrite(LocalDestinationFilename))
    {
        sftp.DownloadFile(RemoteFileName, file);
    }
 
    sftp.Disconnect();
}

I hope this will help you.

Thanks .
