title: uploading file on secured FTP over https protocol c#
body: <p>I have to upload and download files on FTP with HTTPS. 
  If I am thinking right I have to use HTTPWebRequest class since the ftp is using HTTPS protocol.</p>
  
  <p>Now I'm trying to download a file but all the response stream I'm getting is just the "virtual  user 'XXX' logged in".</p>
  
  <p>May be I'm not setting correct method type or something else is going wrong.</p>
  
  <pre><code> WebRequest ftp1 = HttpWebRequest.Create(u1);
              ftp1.PreAuthenticate = true;
              ftp1.Credentials = netCred;
  
              ftp1.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
              try
              {
                  response = (HttpWebResponse)ftp1.GetResponse();            
                  remoteStream = response.GetResponseStream();
                  localStream = File.Create("c:/TEST1.txt");
                  int bytesProcessed = 0;
                  byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
                  int bytesRead;
  
                  do
                  {
                      // Read data (up to 1k) from the stream
                      bytesRead = remoteStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
  
                      // Write the data to the local file
                      localStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
  
                      // Increment total bytes processed
                      bytesProcessed += bytesRead;
                  } while (bytesRead &gt; 0);
              }
              catch (Exception e)
              {
                  Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
              }
        finally
        {
          // Close the response and streams objects here 
          // to make sure they're closed even if an exception
          // is thrown at some point
          if (response != null) response.Close();
          if (remoteStream != null) remoteStream.Close();
          if (localStream != null) localStream.Close();
        }
