File transfer to FTP site

[raj]

Hi
I want transfer some files to an ftp site, (actually a specified
folder in the ftp site).
What is the easiest way to do this ??
I have downloaded various bits of code and they all seem to require
the host name as string ie "ftp.yahoo.com"
ie Socket s = new Socket("ftp.yahoo.com", defaultport)
I want to be able to specify an ftp url, ie
"ftp:\\194.128.10.195\myName"
and transfer files to this.

I usually programme in Smalltalk, and my knowledge of Java is limited.

Thanks for your Help
Raj

You should look for a java-based FTP-client to be used.
Google tells you a lot of resources, e.g.
http://jvftp.sourceforge.net/
To be able to open an UrlConnection with ftp:// you need
to implement your own ConnectionHandler.
