ftp4j is a Java client library that implements a full-featured FTP client. With ftp4j embedded in your application you can: transfer files (upload and download), browse the remote FTP site (directory listing included), create, delete, rename and move remote directories and files.
Benefits

A glimpse of ftp4j key benefits:

Connectivity:
      The ftp4j library can connect the remote FTP server:
          - Through a direct TCP/IP connection.
          - Through a SSL secured connection (FTPS).
          - Through a FTP proxy.
          - Tunnelling through a HTTP proxy.
          - Through a SOCKS 4/4a proxy.
          - Through a SOCKS 5 proxy.
          - You can add support to other proxies plugging your own connector, since the ftp4j connection manager architecture is modular.

Browsing the remote site
          - FTP LIST command support through extensible parser architecture. Bundled parsers can handle: UNIX style listing, MAC style, DOS style, NetWare style and variants, EPLF style. Moreover you can build your own parser and plug it in the library.
          - Clear object representation of directory contents.

Download and upload
          - Active and passive transfer mode support.
          - Binary and textual transfer type support, with optional and extensible type auto-selection.
          - Event-based transfer monitoring.
          - Transfer abortion support.
          - Transfer resume support.

Java exceptions
          - Structured exceptions let the developer know the real cause of any failure.

What is new in this release:

  • This version fixes a bug in the download routine, handling the "502 Command REST not allowed by policy" message the right way.

What is new in version 1.7.1:

  • The FTPConnector has now a setUseSuggestedAddressForDataConnections() method that can be used to determinate if the connector should trust the address returned by the server in the response of a PASV command, or if it should rather connect to the same host used for the communication channel.
  • A bug related to the auto noop timer has been fixed.
  • Any call to SimpleDateFormat is now thread safe.
  • There are enhancements in data transfer routines, which now are compatible with a larger set of servers and proxies.

What is new in version 1.7:

  • A change has been made in the FTP connectors architecture.
  • FTPConnector is no longer an interface: it is now an abstract class implementing timeout aware connections.
  • Timeouts for connection, read, and close operations can be set by the caller.
  • A connection attempt to a remote FTP server can now be aborted, calling the brand new abortCurrentConnectionAttempt() method in FTPClient.
  • Moreover, a bug has been fixed in the HTTPTunnelConnector.

What is new in version 1.6.1:

  • The "502 Command REST not allowed by policy" and "501 REST not compatible with server configuration" responses to the "REST 0" command are no longer treated as errors.
  • This extends the library compatibility to a greater number of server types. Each SIZE command is now preceded by a TYPE I command, extending the library compatibility.
  • Several enhancements have been applied in the remote file list routine.
  • Finally, a timezone issue has been solved in UnixListParser and NetWareListParser.

What is new in version 1.4.3:

  • Enhancements in download/upload error handling
  • UnixListParser enhancements
  • The REST command is now issued only if the server declares explicitly its support in the FEAT command response

What is new in version 1.4.2:

  • In FTPS and FTPES modes the client now issues a "PBSZ 0" command before sending the "PROT P" one. Some servers require it.
  • Minor API change: the streamLength information is no more required by the upload method. (Thanks to Lukas Loehrer)

What is new in version 1.4.1:

  • Bug resolved: append instead overwrite on download
  • Bug resolved: blank files in textual mode on upload/download

What is new in version 1.4:

  • FTPS and FTPES support added.
  • New connection architecture, classes FTPConnection and SSLConnector have been removed.

What is new in version 1.3.3:

  • UTF-8 support enhanced

Requirements:

  • Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment
