Exception occurred while ftpying files using FTP service

Question

Hi,
We are using an FTP service component for copying file to remote location.
We are getting the following exception while FTPying the file:
com.adobe.idp.DocumentError: The document pointing to the file ------- could not be found. It may have expired, been removed prematurely, or subject to a network filesystem failure. Consider increasing the document disposal timeout if expiration seems likely.
Regards,
Carter J

Check out the NetComponents java package at http://www.savarese.org/oro
I use it for downloads with success, but it does have methods to "store" files to the server.
Just download the NetComponents.jar and put it in your classpath.
Your code would be something like this...
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("c:\\myfile");
FTPClient ftp = new FTPClient();
try {
ftp.connect("ftp.foobar.com");
ftp.login("username","password"); // if it's not anonymous
ftp.storeFile("filename", instream);// note that you must close input stream yourself
} catch(IOException e) {
} finally {
if(ftp.isConnected()) {
ftp.disconnect(); // throws IOException
if(fis != null) {
fis.close();
You may want to check each call on the FTPClient ftp object like so...
int reply = ftp.getReplyCode(); // reply code will tell you what last ftp command did
if(!FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(reply)) {
throw new IOException("Couldn't login"); // or do something
Hope this helps,
