I modified my FTP program to be like this :
// FTP Test
import java.io.*;
import net.ftp.FtpClient;
import net.TelnetOutputStream;
class FTPtest
{
public static void main (String args[])
{
TelnetOutputStream tout=null;
int i;
System.out.println("Start connection...");
FtpClient client = new FtpClient("student");
System.out.println("Proxy = " + client.ftpProxyHost);
client.login("USERNAME", "PASSWORD");
client.binary();
client.get("INFO");
tout = client.put("FROM_DODO");
if (tout == null)
System.out.println("tout is null");
else
System.out.println("tout isn't null");
for (i = 1; i < 10; ++i)
tout.write(i);
System.out.println("Closing connection !!");
}
}
!!!!!!!
However, the program is still not working properly.
It only creates an empty file in the remote machine.
Am I doing the right way !
!!!!!!!
Thanks !!
