I'm new to Apache Commons (3.0.1), and am writing a Java program to FTP a file
on my local server to an FTP server on the same network.
First, I'd like to make sure that changeWorkingDirectory() changes the
directory on the remote machine. It's not clear from the documentation.
The first thing hat happens is that the "Change Directory didn't work" prints
out. but I don't know what went wrong. So, I'm trying to use getReply() for
more information, but my program hangs on that line. I know this becuase the
line before it prints, but not the line after it.
Here's a code snippet:
FTPClient ftp = new FTPClient();
ftp.connect (server);
// status checking here - print statements indicate that connect was successful
boolean OK = ftp.changeWorkingDirectory ("/tmp/dir_name");
if {OK} {
System.out.println ("Change directory worked");
} else {
System.out.println ("Change directory didn't work");
system.out.println ("The FTP Reply Code is");
reply = ftp.getReply(); // reply was defined as int before doing the connect
previous to this
System.out.println (Reply);
}
Thanks for any help you can offer.
