    ExceptionDescription
    Cannot perform the requested operation because the FTP client is in an invalid state.
    An error reply was returned by the FTP server.
    An I/O error has occurred.
    A fatal FTP-specific error has occurred.
    Remarks

    By default, the file will be sent to the current working folder. If you want to send the file to another location, you could use the ChangeCurrentFolder and/or ChangeToParentFolder methods to change the current working folder. Absolute paths can also be provided, however some FTP servers might not support absolute paths and different server types may have different ways of representing absolute paths.

    The current working folder can be retrieved via the GetCurrentFolder method.

    When using this overload of the SendFile method, in the SendingFile event, the TransferringFileEventArgs.LocalFilename property will be System.String.Empty. This overload will also ignore the value of the PreAllocateStorage property.

    The SendFile method will send the PASV or PORT and STOR or APPE commands and optionally the TYPE command to the FTP server.
