FtpWebRequest.Timeout Property

Definition

Gets or sets the number of milliseconds to wait for a request.

public:
 virtual property int Timeout { int get(); void set(int value); };
public override int Timeout { get; set; }
member this.Timeout : int with get, set
Public Overrides Property Timeout As Integer

Property Value

An Int32 value that contains the number of milliseconds to wait before a request times out. The default value is Infinite.

Exceptions

The value specified is less than zero and is not Infinite.

A new value was specified for this property for a request that is already in progress.

Examples

The following code example sets this property.

static bool UploadUniqueFileOnServer( Uri^ serverUri, String^ fileName )
{
   // The URI described by serverUri should use the ftp:// scheme.
   // It contains the name of the directory on the server.
   // Example: ftp://contoso.com.
   // 
   // The fileName parameter identifies the file containing the data to be uploaded.
   if ( serverUri->Scheme != Uri::UriSchemeFtp )
   {
      return false;
   }

   // Get the object used to communicate with the server.
   FtpWebRequest^ request = dynamic_cast<FtpWebRequest^>(WebRequest::Create( serverUri ));
   request->Method = WebRequestMethods::Ftp::UploadFileWithUniqueName;

   // Don't set a time limit for the operation to complete.
   request->Timeout = System::Threading::Timeout::Infinite;

   // Copy the file contents to the request stream.
   const int bufferLength = 2048;
   array<Byte>^buffer = gcnew array<Byte>(bufferLength);
   int count = 0;
   int readBytes = 0;
   FileStream^ stream = File::OpenRead( fileName );
   Stream^ requestStream = request->GetRequestStream();
   do
   {
      readBytes = stream->Read( buffer, 0, bufferLength );
      requestStream->Write( buffer, 0, bufferLength );
      count += readBytes;
   }
   while ( readBytes != 0 );

   Console::WriteLine( "Writing {0} bytes to the stream.", count );
   
   // IMPORTANT: Close the request stream before sending the request.
   requestStream->Close();
   FtpWebResponse^ response = dynamic_cast<FtpWebResponse^>(request->GetResponse());
   Console::WriteLine( "Upload status: {0}, {1}", response->StatusCode, response->StatusDescription );
   Console::WriteLine( "File name: {0}", response->ResponseUri );
   response->Close();
   return true;
}
public static bool UploadUniqueFileOnServer (Uri serverUri, string fileName)
{
    // The URI described by serverUri should use the ftp:// scheme.
    // It contains the name of the directory on the server.
    // Example: ftp://contoso.com.
    //
    // The fileName parameter identifies the file containing the data to be uploaded.

    if (serverUri.Scheme != Uri.UriSchemeFtp)
    {
        return false;
    }
    // Get the object used to communicate with the server.
    FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(serverUri);
    request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFileWithUniqueName;
    // Set a time limit for the operation to complete.
    request.Timeout = 600000;

    // Copy the file contents to the request stream.
    const int bufferLength = 2048;
    byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferLength];
    int count = 0;
    int readBytes = 0;
    FileStream stream = File.OpenRead(fileName);
    Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
    do
    {
        readBytes = stream.Read(buffer, 0, bufferLength);
        requestStream.Write(buffer, 0, bufferLength);
        count += readBytes;
    }
    while (readBytes != 0);

    Console.WriteLine ("Writing {0} bytes to the stream.", count);
    // IMPORTANT: Close the request stream before sending the request.
    requestStream.Close();
    FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();
    Console.WriteLine("Upload status: {0}, {1}",response.StatusCode, response.StatusDescription);
    Console.WriteLine ("File name: {0}", response.ResponseUri);
    response.Close();
    return true;
}

Remarks

To specify an infinite value, set the Timeout property to Infinite (-1). This is the default value.

Timeout is the number of milliseconds that a synchronous request made with the GetResponse method waits for a response and that the GetRequestStream method waits for a stream. If a resource does not respond within the time-out period, the request throws a WebException with the Status property set to Timeout.

Changing Timeout after calling the GetRequestStream, BeginGetRequestStream, GetResponse, or BeginGetResponse method causes an InvalidOperationException exception.

A Domain Name System (DNS) query may take up to 15 seconds to return or time out. If your request contains a host name that requires resolution and you set Timeout to a value less than 15 seconds, it may take 15 seconds or more before a WebException is thrown to indicate a time-out on your request.
