Hey all,
for a project i have been hunting around for a while on a way to implement a
ftp client in java. I don't need any fancy gui, just the basic api's and
code.
Jakarta commons net seems the most well know and stable but i don't know how
to install and access the member functions etc. I have looked into the
sun.net.ftp but the lack of support is not good. I realise there are a lot
of 3rd party api's out there and all i really want is a reliable one that it
should be too hard to implement my FTP client.
I have read the RFC 959 etc that tells you exactly to build one from the
ground up, but i would really like a abstraction layer above that so i am
just specifying locations, ports, IP addresses, file locations and file
names.
Essentially i'd love to see some examples that talk through uploading and
downloading a file through FTP. All i really need is to upload a file to a
FTP server, and a similar client to download the file from the same server.
I don't need anything fancy just a simple little client that will upload and
download files. I am quite happy to used 3rd party api's but i really need
some good examples.
Does anyone have any suggestions that they could talk me through or post
instructions etc?
Cheers
