FTP using java

[Ramesh]

Hi All,

Does java supports using FTP?

Actually I am trying to get data from different Windows NT machines to UNIX box using java, Please provide me with some idea on this.

Thanks in advance,

Ramesh.

Ramesh,

We use the apache commons net package. http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/

The code is simple to implement, here is a sample:

// Connect and logon to FTP Server
FTPClient ftp = new FTPClient();
ftp.connect(server);
ftp.login(username, password);

// Change to the directory
ftp.changeWorkingDirectory(folder);

FileInputStream src2 = new FileInputStream(outFile);
ftp.storeFile(filename,src2 );
src2.close();
ftp.logout();
ftp.disconnect();

Hope this helps,

Julia
