Stream file from ftp in localhost working in azure no - asp.net-mvc

Question

Hi I using VisualStudio 2012 and I have created web site which reads info (from .csv) from external ftp site. When I running it on local host everything works fine, but then I deployed it to azure web sites it is not working, just show zeros everywhere were should be numbers. (Dont get info from ftp)
public static List<ApiClient.Models.StatsList> GetStatsData(string Ticket, DateTime start, DateTime end, int CampaignId, String CampaignName)
{
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//Gets stats from GetAdsStats service (included: Banner id, impressions, and clicks)
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
List<ApiClient.Models.StatsList> FullList = GetAdStatsService.GetAdsStats(Ticket, start, end, CampaignId);
List<LikesDislikesList> LikeDislike = new List<LikesDislikesList>();
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
string day;
string month;
if (DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1).Day.ToString().Count() == 1)
{
day = "0" + DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1).Day;
}
else
{
day = DateTime.Today.AddDays(-1).Day.ToString();
}
if (DateTime.Today.Month.ToString().Count() == 1)
{
month = "0" + DateTime.Today.Month;
}
else
{
month = DateTime.Today.Month.ToString();
}
try
{
string uri = "ftp://siteAdres" + CampaignName.Replace(" ", "_") + "_Optimizing_events_" + day + "-" + month + "-" + DateTime.Today.Year + ".csv";
Uri serverUri = new Uri(uri);
if (serverUri.Scheme != Uri.UriSchemeFtp)
{
return FullList;
}
FtpWebRequest reqFTP;
reqFTP = (FtpWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(new Uri(uri));
reqFTP.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
reqFTP.KeepAlive = false;
reqFTP.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DownloadFile;
reqFTP.UseBinary = true;
reqFTP.Proxy = null;
reqFTP.UsePassive = false;
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)reqFTP.GetResponse();
Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader csvStream = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//Read Likes/Dislikes from csv file stream
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
using (var rd = csvStream)
{
int iname = -1;
int ilikes = -1;
int idislikes = -1;
while (!rd.EndOfStream)
{
var raw = rd.ReadLine().Split((char)9);
if (rd.Peek() == -1)
{
break;
}
if (ilikes == -1 || idislikes == -1)

}
}
else
{
LikeDislike.Add(new LikesDislikesList() { Likes = Convert.ToInt32(raw[ilikes]), Dislikes = Convert.ToInt32(raw[idislikes]), Name = raw[iname] });
}
}
}
response.Close();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
log.Warn("GetAdStatsService.cs " + ex);
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//Add like/dislike values for certain banners
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
foreach (var element in FullList)
{
foreach (var el in LikeDislike)

Check FtpWebResponse.StatusCode before calling response.GetResponseStream(). You are probably having come kind of connection error. My guess would be firewall settings on your Azure VM.
