How to get current working directory of the ftp server,in java application

Question

Hi All,
I?m FTP?ing the file using java.net.url.
Here is the snippet of the code:
public void ftpFile()throws ChrsException
try
System.out.println("FTPing the file '"+localfile+"'");
OutputStream os = openUploadStream(targetfile);
FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(localfile);
byte[] buf = new byte[16384];
int noOfBytesRead;
while (true)
//Read the data from the source File into buf
noOfBytesRead = is.read(buf);
if (noOfBytesRead <= 0)
break;
//Writes the data present in the buf to the target file
os.write(buf, 0, noOfBytesRead);
os.close();
is.close();
close();
System.out.println ("The file '"+localfile+"' is Sucessfully FTP'd to '"+targetfile+"'");
catch (MalformedURLException malExcp)
System.out.println ("Invalid URL. Error in FTP'ing the file: \""+localfile+"\"");
catch(IOException ioe)
System.out.println ("Error in FTP'ing the file: \""+localfile+"\"");
private OutputStream openUploadStream(String targetfile) throws MalformedURLException, IOException
URL url = null;
//Creates a URL object with FTP protocol
if (user == null)
url = new URL("ftp://" + host + "/" + targetfile + ";type=i");
else
url = new URL("ftp://" + user + ":" + password + "@" + host + "/" + targetfile + ";type=i");
urlc = url.openConnection();
//Get the OutputStream that writes to this connection.
OutputStream os = urlc.getOutputStream();
return os;
Now I need to find what the current directory is when the user logs in with username and password on to the FTP server in java.
Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

as soon as user logs in he is taken to the directory
"ftproot/pub/abc".
now If I execute pwd command , is hould be able to
get to know tht user is under "ftproot/pub/abc"Three respected posters, well two plus me ;-), have just told you otherwise. The information about the current directory is (a) secure and (b) useless to the user, as he can't do anything with it. The user doesn't want to know that at all and you shouldn't try to tell him. And in any case FTP doesn't support it, again for security reasons, so you can't do it.
Just accept it.
