For those people who are interested to use FtpWebRequest to upload files on a server. Here is the code:

FtpWebRequest ftpRequest;
FtpWebResponse ftpResponse;

try
{
   //Settings required to establish a connection with the server
    this.ftpRequest = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri("ftp://ServerIP/FileName"));
   this.ftpRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;
   this.ftpRequest.Proxy = null;
   this.ftpRequest.UseBinary = true;
   this.ftpRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("UserName", "Password");

    //Selection of file to be uploaded
    FileInfo ff = new FileInfo("File Local Path With File Name");//e.g.: c:\\Test.txt
   byte[] fileContents = new byte[ff.Length];

    using (FileStream fr = ff.OpenRead()) //will destroy the object immediately after being used
    {
       fr.Read(fileContents, 0, Convert.ToInt32(ff.Length));
   }

    using (Stream writer = ftpRequest.GetRequestStream())
   {
       writer.Write(fileContents, 0, fileContents.Length);
    }

    this.ftpResponse = (FtpWebResponse)this.ftpRequest.GetResponse(); //Gets the FtpWebResponse of the uploading operation
    Response.Write(this.ftpResponse.StatusDescription); //Display response
}
catch (WebException webex)
{
   this.Message = webex.ToString();
}
