Hi,
I need to submit an ftp upload. Can I do this somehow inside a servlet. I want to copy a file from an ftp://... to my server. Not sure if this is possible.
Thanks in advance.

THanks I have done it! If anyone would like to know, here is the sniplet.
private String FTPTest(){
try{
//Get the movie in binary format
URL url = new URL("ftp://username:[email protected]/file/" + FileName);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
InputStream stream = connection.getInputStream();
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(stream);
FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream("/uploadedMovie.asf);
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(file);
//Download the movie
int i;
while ((i = in.read()) != -1) {
out.write(i);
//Flush buffers
out.flush();
//Catch errors
}catch(Exception e){
return "";
}
