1 Uploading a file to a FTP server from android phone?

java android ftp apache-commons apache-commons-net

Following is the code that's suppose to create a text document and upload it to my FTP server. For some
reason it doesn't seem to work. I used to the libraries provided at
http://lavalatwork.blogspot.tw/2010/09/using-apache-commons-ftp-library-in.html

for communicating with the FTP server.

catch(IOException ex)
{

FTPClient mFTP = new FTPClient();

try {
// Connect to FTP Server
mFTP.connect("192.168.10.101");
//mFTP.login("user", "password");
mFTP.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
mFTP.enterLocalPassiveMode();

// Prepare file to be uploaded to FTP Server

File file = new File(getFileStreamPath("samplefile.txt")+ "");
FileInputStream ifile = new FileInputStream(file);

// Upload file to FTP Server

Any help would be appreciated.

Checking the output of logcat is often very helpful when using Apache Commons FTP client. Dheeraj V.S. Jul 22 '12 at

I have used the apache's commons library to upload and download an Audio file to and from the
Server... see this...

Uploading:

public void goforIt(){

FTPClient con = null;

try
{
con = new FTPClient();
con.connect("192.168.2.57");

if (con.login("Administrator", "KUjWbk"))
{
con.enterLocalPassiveMode(); // important!
con.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
String data = "/sdcard/vivekm4a.m4a";

FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(data));

boolean result = con.storeFile("/vivekm4a.m4a", in);
in.close();
if (result) Log.v("upload result", "succeeded");
Downloading:

public void goforIt(){

FTPClient con = null;

try
{
con = new FTPClient();
con.connect("192.168.2.57");

if (con.login("Administrator", "KUjWbk"))
{
con.enterLocalPassiveMode(); // important!
con.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
String data = "/sdcard/vivekm4a.m4a";

OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File(data));

boolean result = con.retrieveFile("vivekm4a.m4a", out);
out.close();
if (result) Log.v("download result", "succeeded");
con.logout();
con.disconnect();

You can use Simple Java FTP Client and add it as externel jar for your projec, you can also refer to
1 this link
 public class FileUpload
{

/**
* Upload a file to a FTP server. A FTP URL is generated with the
* following syntax:
* ftp://user:password@host:port/filePath;type=i.
*
* @param ftpServer , FTP server address (optional port ':portNumber').
* @param user , Optional user name to login.
* @param password , Optional password for user.
* @param fileName , Destination file name on FTP server (with optional
* preceding relative path, e.g. "myDir/myFile.txt").
* @param source , Source file to upload.
* @throws MalformedURLException, IOException on error.
*/
public void upload( String ftpServer, String user, String password,
String fileName, File source ) throws MalformedURLException,
IOException
{
You can also use the Apache commons-net-ftp library, for more details you can focus on this link.

import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient;

FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient();

try {
ftpClient.connect(InetAddress.getByName(SERVER));
ftpClient.login(USERNAME, PASSWORD);
ftpClient.changeWorkingDirectory(PATH);

if (ftpClient.getReplyString().contains("250")) {
ftpClient.setFileType(org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
BufferedInputStream buffIn = null;
buffIn = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(FULL_PATH_TO_LOCAL_FILE
ftpClient.enterLocalPassiveMode();
ProgressInputStream progressInput = new ProgressInputStream(buffIn, progressHandle

boolean result = ftpClient.storeFile(localAsset.getFileName(), progressInput

buffIn.close();
ftpClient.logout();
ftpClient.disconnect();
