How to asynchronously send files using a stream?

Question

I am trying to upload a list of files asynchronously using a stream, instead of a file path, but it looks like the handle being returned by the upload is being reused.

BTW - I have tried to upload using the file path and this works, but I am needing to impersonate a different user account and when I try to impersonate it fails inside of the:

task = _sftp.PutFileAsync(localPath, remotePath, null);

Here is part of the logs when trying to send the stream:

Here is most of the code:

List<Task> taskList = new List<Task>();
string[] zipFiles = Directory.GetFiles(Path.Combine(_workingFolder + "\\BBDW"), "*.zip*.*");

foreach (string zipFile in zipFiles)
{
     using (this.impersonate)
     {
          using (FileStream stream = File.Open(zipFile, FileMode.Open))
          {
               Task fileTransfer = _ftpClient.PutFileAsync(stream, _ftpFolder + "/" + Path.GetFileName(zipFile), null);
               taskList.Add(fileTransfer);
          }
     }
}

This is bug in your code. You started an asynchronous operation which works with stream and you close the stream immediately after the operation has started.

You have to close the stream after the async operation is finished.

This code will almost never work (it works only when async operation is finished before exiting the using block):

using (stream = File.Open())
{
    Task t = DoSomethingAsync(stream);
}

You have to rewrite your code to use try finally construct.
