It is not particularly elegant because I just threw it together, but I think this is pretty much what you need?
You just want to continue your requests until you get "ActionNotTakenFileUnavailable", so you know your file name is good, and then just load it.
string destination = "ftp://something.com/";
string file = "test.jpg";
string extention = Path.GetExtension(file);
string fileName = file.Remove(file.Length - extention.Length);
string fileNameCopy = fileName;
int attempt = 1;
while (!CheckFileExists(GetRequest(destination + "//" + fileNameCopy + extention)))
{
fileNameCopy = fileName + " (" + attempt.ToString() + ")";
attempt++;
}
}
private static FtpWebRequest GetRequest(string uriString)
{
var request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uriString);
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("", "");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetFileSize;
return request;
}
private static bool checkFileExists(WebRequest request)
{
try
{
request.GetResponse();
return true;
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}
Edit: Updated, so this will work for any type of web request and a little thinner.
