• .NET Development FtpWebRequest and timeouts

  hi, i'm using the FtpWebRequest class as used in the SDK examples. i find that when an upload takes a few minutes, the call to GetResponse() fails with "Underlying connection closed", even though the upload was successful. i'm not changing the Timeout value, but i do have KeepAlive set to true, in an effort to keep the connection active. i guess it's a timeout after such a long upload, but i'm wondering if i need to bother calling GetResponse at all if there was an error streaming the file, surely it would raise it's own exception and not wait for me to call GetResponse thanks tim Well w ...Show All
