Copying files from FTP to Azure Blob Storage

I have created my FTP (ftp://xyz.in) with user id and credentials. I have created an asp.net core API application that will copy files from FTP to Azure blob storage. I have my API solution placed in C://Test2/Test2 folder. Now below is my code :

        FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp:/xyz.in");          request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile;            // This example assumes the FTP site uses anonymous logon.          request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("pqr@efg.com", "lmn");            // Copy the contents of the file to the request stream.          byte[] fileContents;          // Getting error in below line.          using (StreamReader sourceStream = new StreamReader("ftp://xyz.in/abc.txt"))             {                  fileContents = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sourceStream.ReadToEnd());          }            request.ContentLength = fileContents.Length;            using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())          {              requestStream.Write(fileContents, 0, fileContents.Length);          }            using (FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())          {              Console.WriteLine($"Upload File Complete, status {response.StatusDescription}");          }  

But on line using (StreamReader sourceStream = new StreamReader("ftp://xyz.in/abc.txt"))
I am getting error : System.IO.IOException: 'The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect : 'C:\Test2\Test2\ftp:\xyz.in\abc.txt''

I am not able to understand from where does 'C:\Test2\Test2' string gets append to my FTP. Test2 is a folder where my .Net Core application is placed.
