Uploading files recursively with WebClient

I am writing a .NET application in C# that needs to upload some files onto a server using FTP. I am looking at the UploadFileAsync method provided by he WebClient class:

What I am curious about is what happens if I tell it to upload a directory?

In my dreams it would recursively upload the directory and all of its contents.... Does anybody have any experience with this, or know any way I could get all the files up there without having to go through and manually c开发者_如何学JAVAreate the sub directories and upload the files one by one?

It will not work like that. If you pass a directory, you'll get an error. There's no shortcut of the kind you seek, unfortunately.

Yuo can get all the files of any level of a folder easily by Directory.GetFiles(), then loop through the files one by one and upload it.

Under UltraVNC, when I upload a directory, it creates a zip of the directory, uploads it as a file, and unzips it there. You might want to call a script that unzips the file.

I just searched on stackoverflow, and I think there are better solutions.
