Changing to the root directory with FtpWebRequest

This doesn't seem to work for me in 2.0
Any creation of a URI will execute a canonical transformation on the URI thus getting rid of .. or %2E2E
Do I do something wrong here?

WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create( @"https://somesite.com/../../../c:/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exe" );
OR
WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create( @"https://somesite.com/%2E/%2E/%2E/c:/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exe" );
try
{
Console.Write( "URL: \t" + req.RequestUri );

Can you give me some pointers please?

Two things.

One, this is the most aweful implmentation of a FTP client I have ever seen. You need to track down the architects and them senseless. Seriously, someone should have spoken up and said, "You know, trying to shoehorn a FTP client into the WebRequest model may not be a good idea."

Secondly, please post this code on the MSDN Wki site.

Hi,

I am able to FTP a file using %2E from a console application.

However when I try the same thing from Windows Service I am inable to FTP.

It gives the below error

The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).

Are there any settings for Windows Service ?

The code is the same in both the cases and also the Network Credentials.

Please help !!!
