Actually I noted after replying that what we really do is this: client uploads "myfile.txt" onUploadstart receives myfile.txt and does some security checks onUploadEnd renames myfile.txt to PREFIX_myfile.txt and moves it to destination folder ( For this you have to get the FtpFileObject session.getFileSystemView().getFile(request.getArgument()) and cast it to NativeFtpFile so you can access the physicalFile - In trunk this cast is probably no longer needed )
Our app only processes files starting with "PREFIX" and will remove that part of the filename. If you definitely have to change the filename before upload you should implement your own STOR command or provide your own filesystem implementation. Im guessing you probably want to avoid concurrency problems and thus you change the filename to .swp until upload has finished. A custom filesystem would be a good solution to handle this - maybe even you could donate that code for I guess is a pretty common request. 2009/5/12 massimiliano basilica <[email protected]>: > Thank you very much for your fast reply. > For my purpose the good solution is to use onUploadStart() ftpLet method for > the first rename and onUploadEnd for the final one. > I tried to use the following method > public FtpletResult onUploadStart(FtpSession session, FtpRequest > request) throws FtpException, IOException { > System.out.println("==> Upload"); > return FtpletResult.DEFAULT; } > > I guessed I was been able to change the input file name using the FtpRequest > request, but this class/Interface provide only get method > (i.e. request.getArgument();) > How can I change the input file name?
