You should specify what exactly is causing you a problem. We are not giving complete solutions. If you've written something so far, post it, so we can tell you how to complete it.
Also, what you've written so far doesn't mention which files do you want to download.

i have written code like this
i want to download files from remote server

This code working fine
but no data in downloaded file.
please let me know what is the problem

import java.util.*;
public class frmFileDownload {
	public static void main (String[] args) {
		try {
			clsFileDownload ftp = new clsFileDownload ();
			String serverName = "http://govindapasam.741.com";
			if (ftp.connectAndLogin(serverName, "*********", "********")) {
				System.out.println("Connected to " + serverName);
				try {
					System.out.println("Welcome message:\n" + ftp.getReplyString());

					ftp.setPassiveMode(true);

					Vector v =(Vector)ftp.listFileNames();

					ListIterator iter = v.listIterator();
					while (iter.hasNext())
					{

					//ftp.ascii();
					String fileName=iter.next().toString();

					String filePath="C:/Pasam/Java/FtpUpload_Thu/ServerFiles/" + fileName;
					System.out.println(fileName);
					ftp.downloadFile(fileName,filePath);
					}

				} catch (Exception ftpe) {
					ftpe.printStackTrace();
				} finally {
					ftp.logout();
					ftp.disconnect();
				}
			} else {
				System.out.println("Unable to connect to" + serverName);
			}
			System.out.println("Finished");
		} catch(Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();

Try String filePath="C:\\Pasam\\Java\\FtpUpload_Thu\\ServerFiles\\" + fileName; instead of String filePath="C:/Pasam/Java/FtpUpload_Thu/ServerFiles/" + fileName; .



And next time please use code tags to post your code.

hi
same problem is coming again

In the downloadFile method try to flush the FileOutputStream before closing.

I ran your code, and I've received an exception:

i downloaded from this site check it

Option 4: Use the Jakarta Net classes

Probably the most attractive option for FTP functionality in Java is the Jakarta Commons Net library, which includes a full-featured FTP client class. The library is pretty well tested, and is also open-source and free to use (as long as you abide by the terms of the Apache license). This library is actually the old ORO NetComponents.jar package, which was donated to Apache several years ago.

Here are some examples of using the Jakarta Commons FTP class:

a wrapper around the Jakarta FTP class: JakartaFtpWrapper.java
a program that uses the wrapper: JakartaWrapperTest.java

Not only is Jakarta FTP much more feature-rich than the other options above, but it also has its own internal support for parsing file/directory listings on multiple server types. To do this it uses the Jakarta ORO library (also open-source and covered by the Apache license) for regular expression parsing, although this is all done transparent to you.

For a good, general purpose FTP client implementation in Java, Jakarta Commons is a good bet.

For me the command FTPFile[] files = listFiles("/_webimages/FtpSample/"); seems to throw this stuff all the time (even if called without parameters ).
Anyway, do you get the file list and are the files generated locally, but they are empty?

[agpasam]

Hi

YES
I got the list of files.
what can i do to get tha file with data

I think the problem is that you don't download the file from the /_webimages/FtpSample/ directory. Try to change there first, or put it before the name of the files.

[agpasam]

Hi

when i list files This method is working fine i am using this ("/_webimages/FtpSample/")

But

[code]
public Vector<String> listFileNames ()
throws IOException, FTPConnectionClosedException {
FTPFile[] files = listFiles("/_webimages/FtpSample/");
Vector<String> v = new Vector<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
if (!files[i].isDirectory())
v.addElement(files[i].getName());
}
return v;
}


But
i calling this method

public boolean downloadFile (String serverFile, String localFile)
throws IOException, FTPConnectionClosedException {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(localFile);
boolean result = retrieveFile(serverFile, out);
out.flush()
out.close();
return result;
}


it will return false

i think Here is the problem

Here also i changed like this again same problem coming

[code]

while (iter.hasNext())
{

//ftp.ascii();
String fileName=iter.next().toString();
String fileName1="http://govindapasam.741.com/_webimages/FtpSample/"+fileName;
String filePath="C:\\Pasam\\Java\\FtpUpload_Thu\\ServerFiles\\" + fileName;
System.out.println(fileName1);
ftp.setPassiveMode(true);
ftp.downloadFile(fileName1,filePath);
}

[1lacca]

String fileName1="http://govindapasam.741.com/_webimages/FtpSample/"+fileName;
is probably not good. Try simply:
String fileName1="/_webimages/FtpSample/"+fileName;

This was my last shot for a while, because I have to leave, but I guess someone else might help.
