C# ftp file upload not working

Question

I am using this code that I got from MSDN:

FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://a.b.com/home/grad/G140315METST-HT001.jpg");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;

request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "pass");

StreamReader sourceStream = new StreamReader("G140315METST-HT001.jpg");
byte[] fileContents = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sourceStream.ReadToEnd());
sourceStream.Close();
request.ContentLength = fileContents.Length;
Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
requestStream.Write(fileContents, 0, fileContents.Length);
requestStream.Close();

FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

Console.WriteLine("Upload File Complete, status {0}", response.StatusDescription);
response.Close();

But I am getting this error:

The remote server returned an error: (553) File name not allowed.

On this line Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();

What to do?

Have you tried uploading the same file with a common FTP client? Maybe the server really does not allow this filename... — Christoph Fink, Apr 30 '14 at 06:37
is the path valid? i mean home and grad folders exist on the server — Manish Dalal, Apr 30 '14 at 07:00
when you connect using FileZilla, which folder does it opens? — Manish Dalal, Apr 30 '14 at 07:22

You have to show full local path in StreamReader. Try this

StreamReader sourceStream = new StreamReader("D:\\G140315METST-HT001.jpg");

Put your file in disk D:
