    Remarks

    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.

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

    When using this overload of the SendFileToUniqueName 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 SendFileToUniqueName method will send the STOU and PASV or PORT commands and optionally the TYPE command to the FTP server.
