Exception thrown while uploading file on FTP server from Windows Phone 8

1

I want to upload a video file on FTP server, my all search results ended to MSDN managzine article Adding FTP Support in Windows Phone 8. It has awesome example & library. I tried 2 FTP URLs, one is Mozilla repository & another is my confidential URL. Nothing worked for me but throws exception. I tried my FTP URL in an app called File Downloader, it worked correctly. Expcetion details & output windows log is given below.

Thus, any one can suggest me what should I do changes in that library? Is there another working library available or any other way to upload file to FTP?

Exception is thrown in file FtpClient.cs, event FtpClientSocket_DataReceived(...), at line "await PrepareDataChannelAsync(Response);" [Line # 253]

ftp.mozilla.org

I also tried below given code which works on Windows 8 but not on Windows Phone 8

var ftpURL = "ftp://ftp.url.com";
var request = WebRequest.Create(ftpURL + "/" + file_name.ext);
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("uname", "pwd");
request.Method = "STOR";

byte[] fileBytes = null;
using (var stream = await objStorageFile.OpenReadAsync())
{
    fileBytes = new byte[stream.Size];
    using (var reader = new DataReader(stream))
    {
        await reader.LoadAsync((uint)stream.Size);
        reader.ReadBytes(fileBytes);
    }
}

var requestStream = request.BeginGetRequestStream(async a =>
{
    var requestStreamEnd = request.EndGetRequestStream(a);
    await requestStreamEnd.WriteAsync(fileBytes, 0, fileBytes.Length);
    await requestStreamEnd.FlushAsync();
}, request);

var respo = request.BeginGetResponse(b =>
{
    var res = request.EndGetResponse(b);
    var aa = res.Headers;
}, null);

Replace PrepareDataChannelAsync(String channelInfo) in FtpClient class method with the following one:

private async Task PrepareDataChannelAsync(String channelInfo)
    {
        channelInfo = channelInfo.Remove(0, "227 Entering Passive Mode".Length);
        int start = channelInfo.IndexOf("(") + 1;
        int length = channelInfo.IndexOf(")") - start;
        channelInfo = channelInfo.Substring(start, length);

        String[] Splits = channelInfo.Split(new char[] { ',', ' ', }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
        String Ipaddr = String.Join(".", Splits, 0, 4);

        //Configure the IP Address
        //Calculate the Data Port
        Int32 port = Convert.ToInt32(Splits[4]);
        port = (port * 256) + Convert.ToInt32(Splits[5]);
        logger.AddLog(String.Format("FTP Data Channel IPAddress: {0}, Port: {1}", Ipaddr, port));
        FtpDataChannel = new StreamSocket();
        await FtpDataChannel.ConnectAsync(new Windows.Networking.HostName(Ipaddr), port.ToString());
        logger.AddLog("FTP Data Channel connected");
    }
