When i try to create a directory on a server with FTPWEBREQUEST with a # character in the directory name it only creates the directory name up until the # character.
For example if i try to create the directory "C# Express" only "C" gets created on the server.
I if send "C++ Express" it creates "C++ Express" on the server.
I'm going to check into other characters that are valid for a directory name but don't get created with FTPWEBREQUEST.

FtpWebRequest method=Create Directory problem with "#" in the directory name.

Did some more research on this, seems to be the expected way to handle it so basically you can do this to format it properly.
'format into acceptable url format
myString = URLEncode(myURL)
myStringBuilder.Append(myString)
'replace "+" with escape for space
myStringBuilder.Replace("+","%20")
thanks for the help,

It seems that that class is only for ASP I can't get it to show in my vb.net app no matter what i import.
***No worries i found it, i had to add a reference to system.web.dll to get it to work***

I'll try that but my directory names are coming in through a dialog box so i'll have to rewrite some code to fire it out.
Any word on that other thing

Still getting some funny errors when i use that functions.
For spaces in the source directory name, "+" get put in the targer directory's name. I'm checking into wether this is a server specific error or a .net problem.
