Dialog boxes and file download

Question

I need to make a program(open dialog box) that will choose a file and return the filename that it chooses. And i also need a program that will download a txt file from a pc to my own pc. I need help
i am new to java, ive just recently download j2sdk but i have trouble doing some codes coz its my first time. Please help. thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try this code in the action performed section of a browse for file button of ur dialog ..
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
Object obj=e.getSource();
if(obj == browseButton)
{  FileDialog  fd= new FileDialog(new Frame(), "Choose File");
fd.setVisible(true);
String fullPath =fd.getDirectory() +fd.getFile();
textField1.setText(fullPath);
About the second qusetion u need not download file from ur machine to your own machine unless for testing..
So for ur purpose i think u can just open the file using the code ..
import java.io.*;
public class temp{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
     String in="C:\\dir1\\inputfile.txt";
     String out="C:\\dir2\\outputfile.txt";
     File fileFrom = new File(in);
     File fileTo = new File(out);
     FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(fileFrom);
     FileOutputStream fout= new FileOutputStream(fileTo);
     long len = fileFrom.length();
     byte[] temp= new byte[(int)len];
     int x;
     fin.read(temp);
     fout.write(temp);
     fin.close();
     fout.close();
hope u will be able to solve ur prob.
Have a great time..
