error: (405) Method Not Allowed when uploading file to https

Question

Wrote a code to upload file to a https folder as below

WebClient webClient = new WebClient(); string webAddress = null; try { webAddress = @"https://www.example.net/mydocs"; webClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true; webClient.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; WebRequest serverRequest = WebRequest.Create(webAddress); WebResponse serverResponse; serverResponse = serverRequest.GetResponse(); serverResponse.Close(); webClient.UploadFile(webAddress , "PUT", @"C:\d\1.xml"); webClient.Dispose(); webClient = null; } catch (Exception error) { MessageBox.Show(error.Message); }

the line webClient.UploadFile(webAddress , "PUT", @"C:\d\1.xml"); returning an error

The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed.

Does your website where you are uploading files allows the Verb PUT ? — Mairaj Ahmad

I've seen this error while accessing my services in the past. it has mostly to do with securities or rights. better is to check eventlog to get the exact reason of it. otherwise, restart the app pool and check if that works or not — Dirty Developer

Looks like the method PUT is not supported on the server. Make sure it's the correct method supported. You can try with POST

 webClient.UploadFile(webAddress , "POST", @"C:\d\1.xml");

I changed the Method from "PUT" to "POST" but still, I am getting the same error in MVC.
