Apache Commons FTP problems

I want to implement a FTP Client with Apache Commons Net only for uploading data. The Connection and Login to FTP-Server works fine. But the upload does not work right. The files are a little to big as the originals. And the files are damaged. I tried an image, a video and a textfile. Only the t开发者_Python百科extfile is alright.

Now I see while debugging

boolean tmp=client.setFileTransferMode(FTPClient.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);

gives me false. So it can not be set. Why? (Maybe this is not the problem?)

Here a the rest of my code

client=new FTPClient();

    try {           
        int reply;
        client.connect(url, port);
        reply = client.getReplyCode();

        if (!FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(reply))
        {
            client.disconnect();
            System.err.println("FTP server refused connection.");
            System.exit(1);
        }


        client.login(user, pw);
        boolean xxx=client.setFileTransferMode(FTPClient.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
        client.setControlKeepAliveTimeout(300);
        client.enterLocalPassiveMode();

if (client.isConnected())
    {
    try {
        File file=new File(<FILE>);
        FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
        OutputStream outputStream = client.storeFileStream(file.getName());

          byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
          int l;
       while((l = inputStream.read(buffer))!=-1)
               {
                outputStream.write(buffer, 0, l);
            }

          inputStream.close();
          outputStream.flush();
          outputStream.close();}

Change the following:

boolean xxx=client.setFileTransferMode(FTPClient.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);

Should be:

boolean xxx=client.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);

You have confused FileTransferModes with FileTypes.

The available FileTypes are:

• FTP.ASCII_FILE_TYPE (default)
• FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE
• FTP.EBCDIC_FILE_TYPE
• FTP.LOCAL_FILE_TYPE

The available FileTransferModes are:

• FTP.STREAM_TRANSFER_MODE (default)
• FTP.BLOCK_TRANSFER_MODE
• FTP.COMPRESSED_TRANSFER_MODE

I suppose if apache introduced enums for these constant types, then this kind of problem could be avoided, but then the library would not be available to pre-java-5 runtimes.
I wonder how much of an issue java 1.4 compatibility really is.

If only the text file was transferred successfully, I suspect you need to set the binary transfer file type.

See the setFileType method to see how to do this.

The commons-net wiki mentions this is the cause of most file corruption issues.

This work for me, Uploading Image and download after It´s Ok: Using

    FTP.LOCAL_FILE_TYPE

this code using logger, replace for you logger or use System.out.println("");

    private void cargarData(File filelocal) {
    FTPClient client = new FTPClient();

    try {

        client.connect("URLHOSTFTP", "PORT: DEFAULT 21");
        if (!FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(client.getReplyCode())) {
            client.disconnect();
            logger.error("FTP server refused connection.");
            System.exit(1);
        }
        client.login("USER FTP", "PASS FTP");
        boolean type = client.setFileType(FTP.LOCAL_FILE_TYPE);

        logger.info("Tipo Aceptado:" + type);
        client.setControlKeepAliveTimeout(300);
        client.enterLocalPassiveMode();
        if (client.isConnected()) {
            FileInputStream fis = null;
            fis = new FileInputStream(filelocal);
            client.storeFile(filelocal.getName(), fis);
            client.logout();
            if (fis != null) {
                fis.close();
            }
        }
        logger.info(client.getReplyString());
    } catch (IOException e) {
        logger.error("error" + e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();

    } catch (Exception e) {
        logger.error("error" + e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();

    }
}
