FTP & Writing to CDROM

[ChauTu]

Please help. I am in the process of writing a java program that will copy
files on a remote machine using FTP and then writing them onto a CDROM.

Please tell me what classes I should look into to use FTP. But the most
important question for me is, how do I tell the program to write files to a
CDROM - How will it know about the location, whether or not it is switched
on or if there's a disk inside.

Thanks if you can help

You need something like DirectCD that lets you treat it like a hard
disk.

The alternative is to create a list of files and feed it to the CD
burning software for a disc and once burning.

disk.

the problem with this approach is anyone reading the CD also needs
Roxio DirectCD installed.

Hi There,

Sun bundles an FTP client with the Java runtime - sun.net.ftp.FtpClient
and related classes. There's also an FTP client at Jakarta Commons Net:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net amongst other network transport
implementations.

If only need to burn CD's under Linux you could call mkisofs/cdrecord to
burn your cd from the command line?

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Marcus

I have win XP pro and burning files onto CD is built in
so I don't need Roxio anything. And I can read them
on win NT 4.0.
