FtpWebRequest: Does the slash matter?
For those of you who are curious: there is indeed a difference when we use the following uris as parameters for our FtpWebRequest class:
ftp://server/ParentDirectory/ (Note the slash at the end)
Let’s say we want to create a new directory named “new” in "ParentDirectory". With the first uri (without the slash) we issue:
MKD ParentDirectory\new
And with the slash at the end we issue
CWD ParentDirectory
MKD new
The same model is applicable for all ftp commands that the FtpWebRequest class supports
