I want to integrate an ftp program into a program I am working on. I have scoured the net for reusebale code and come across a "t or Linlyn ftp program" which claims is easily integrateable into larger applications.

The problem is did does not seem to work and gives me errors. I would be grateful if someone could tell me why I am getting the error, here is the error:
C:\My_DL_Dap\ftp in java>appletviewer t.java
Warning: <applet> tag requires width attribute.

I would also be grateful if someone could try out the propgram and tell me if it works for them, then I could determine if it is because ftp clients are being blocked by my server. The ftp program is very small, here is the url:
http://www.afu.com/jdownload.html
1) compile the code
2) fill in everywhere it requests "your-server" "username" and "password"
3) to run appletviewer t.java
