Class FTPClient

java.lang.Object

br.com.anteros.android.core.communication.ftp.FTPClient

public class FTPClient
extends java.lang.Object

This class implements a FTP client. You can use an instance of this class to connect to a remote FTP site and do FTP operations like directory listing, file upload and download, resume a broken upload/download and so on. The common flow is: create the object, connect to a remote FTP site with the connect() method, authenticate with login(), do anything you need with the contents of the remote site, quit the site with disconnect(). A FTPClient object can handle a connection per time. Once you have used and disconnected a FTPClient object you can use it again to connect another FTP server.

                        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Sets the security level for the connection. This method should be called before starting a connection with a server. The security level must be expressed using one of the SECURITY_FTP, SECURITY_FTPS and SECURITY_FTPES costants. SECURITY_FTP, which is the default value, applies the basic FTP security level. SECURITY_FTPS applies the FTPS security level, which is FTP over implicit TLS/SSL. SECURITY_FTPES applies the FTPES security level, which is FTP over explicit TLS/SSL.

Parameters:

This methods sets how to treat the contents during a file transfer. The type supplied should be one of TYPE_AUTO, TYPE_TEXTUAL or TYPE_BINARY constants. Default value is TYPE_AUTO. TYPE_TEXTUAL means that the data sent or received is treated as textual information. This implies charset conversion during the transfer. TYPE_BINARY means that the data sent or received is treated as a binary stream. The data is taken "as is", without any charset conversion. TYPE_AUTO lets the client pick between textual and binary types, depending on the extension of the file exchanged, using a FTPTextualExtensionRecognizer instance, which could be set through the setTextualExtensionRecognizer method. The default recognizer is an instance of DefaultTextualExtensionRecognizer.

Parameters:

type - The type.

The type supplied should be one of MLSD_IF_SUPPORTED, MLSD_ALWAYS or MLSD_NEVER constants. Default value is MLSD_IF_SUPPORTED. MLSD_IF_SUPPORTED means that the client should use the MLSD command only if it is explicitly supported by the server. MLSD_ALWAYS means that the client should use always the MLSD command, also if the MLSD command is not explicitly supported by the server MLSD_NEVER means that the client should use always only the LIST command, also if the MLSD command is explicitly supported by the server. The support for the MLSD command is tested by the client after the connection to the remote server, with the FEAT command.

Checks whether the connected remote FTP server supports compressed data transfers (uploads, downloads, list operations etc.). If so, the compression of any subsequent data transfer (upload, download, list etc.) can be compressed, saving bandwidth. To enable compression call setCompressionEnabled(boolean) . The returned value is not significant if the client is not connected and authenticated.

Returns:

true if compression of data transfers is supported on the server-side, false otherwise.

Since:

                      FTPListParseException

This method lists the entries of the current working directory parsing the reply to a FTP LIST command. The response to the LIST command is parsed through the FTPListParser objects registered on the client. The distribution of ftp4j contains some standard parsers already registered on every FTPClient object created. If they don't work in your case (a FTPListParseException is thrown), you can build your own parser implementing the FTPListParser interface and add it to the client by calling its addListParser() method. Calling this method blocks the current thread until the operation is completed. The operation could be interrupted by another thread calling abortCurrentDataTransfer(). The list() method will break with a FTPAbortedException.

Parameters:

fileSpec - A file filter string. Depending on the server implementation, wildcard characters could be accepted.

Returns:

The list of the files (and directories) in the current working directory.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - If the client is not connected or not authenticated.

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs.

FTPIllegalReplyException - If the server replies in an illegal way.

FTPException - If the operation fails.

FTPDataTransferException - If a I/O occurs in the data transfer connection. If you receive this exception the transfer failed, but the main connection with the remote FTP server is in theory still working.

FTPAbortedException - If operation is aborted by another thread.

FTPListParseException - If none of the registered parsers can handle the response sent by the server.
