[Extension FtpWebRequest] Error: Invalid URI: The URI scheme is not valid.

DAVID CHEN

Question

I'm getting this error when trying to upload a file

Invalid URI: The URI scheme is not valid.

Here are my parameters:

Host: "XX.XXX.XX.XX:XXXX"
User: "TestFTP"
Password: "Test123"
Data: Upload1.Content
FileName: Upload1.FileName

David -

*Probably* need to prefix that host with "ftp://" so it is "ftp://xx.xxx.xx.xx:xxxx". Also try it without the port number to see if that is the problem... if it is, sounds like the extension would need a minor fix.

host: "ftp://xx.xxx.xx.xx:xxxx" Invalid URI: Invalid port specified.
host: "ftp://xx.xxx.xx.xx" Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed.
host: "xx.xxx.xx.xx": Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.'

Hi David,

I took a look into the extension and found that the Uri is created by concatenating the host with the filename

string uri = ssHost + ssFilename;

This uri should include the full path to where you want to upload your file, e.g.
host = ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx
filename = /directory/myfile.ext

This would create when concatenated the Uri ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx/directory/myfile.ext

I hope this helps!
Cheers

Hi André,

I'm getting same error even on sending parameters as specified. Can you please let me know if there is any configuration I'm missing?

Thanks,

Dhavan
