HELP!!! Need help with using DOS comds from Java

I am trying to run ftp in DOS by using the following code, only its not working, when I run the program it opens the DOS window but nothing happens, it does run but returns me two the command prompt straight away. If anyone can help it would be great, thanks in advance.
import java.io.*;
class DosCmd{
public static void main(String [] args){
try{
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process child = rt.exec("start ftp /c ftp 172.20.2.134");
child.waitFor();
catch(IOException io){}
catch(InterruptedException e) {}

I agree with ChuckBing,
there is no option /c for ftp as far as I know (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/server/help/ftp.htm), why don't you try "start ftp 172.20.2.134"? What should this "/c" option do?
Hope this helps,
FReAK

  • Error using DOS Command from Java

    Hi,
    I am using the following code to execute the DOS command to delete a file from Java.
    cmd = "del " + fileName;
    Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process proc = run.exec(cmd);
    Getting the following exception during runt time.
    Exception = java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: del D:\LAWDOCS\P50074\12\3\36857.3  error=2 --
    Can some body throw light on this?.
    Thanks,
    Jeyaraman R

    "del" is not an actual executable file, but instead a command in the command interpreter. So you can't just execute del like that, you have to run the command interpreter and tell it to execute the del command.
    If you are on windows NT, 2000 or XP, replace your command with "cmd /C del " + filename.
    If you are on Windows 95, 98 or ME, use "command /C del " + filename. (I am not quite sure if the switch for this is called /C on old windows version.)
    (But why not use File.delete()?)

  • DOS command from java applet

    Hi, I need to perform a DOS command from Java (using WFC if needed)...
    I have no idea, so please help!
    Thank you.

    OH OH OH WAIT! It is an Applet! i think there will be some security issues here! Sure enough you can't execute commands on the system from an applet unless you make some changes on the java.policy files on the client machine (that means, if your applet is in a web page, every machine which view your page).

  • Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

    need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.  Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen?  any suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Use a scanner from Java

    Hi all!, someone knows about an API that let me use a scanner from Java?
    without programing JNI code.
    thks in advance!.

    The Java Twain package from http://www.gnome.sk does exactly what you need. You do not have to bother about jni, you can get an image from the scanner directly from your java application.

  • I need to call a batch file from java and pass arguments to that Batch file

    Hi,
    I need to call a batch file from java and pass arguments to that Batch file.
    For example say: The batch file(test.bat) contains this command: mkdir
    I need to pass the name of the directory to the batch file as an argument from My Java program.
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat");
    How to pass argument to the .bat file from Java now ?
    regards,
    Krish
    Edited by: Krish4Java on Oct 17, 2007 2:47 PM

    Hi Turing,
    I am able to pass the argument directly but unable to pass as a String.
    For example:
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat sample ");
    When I pass it as a value sample, I am able to receive this value sample in the batch file. Do you know how to pass a String ?
    String s1="sample";
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat s1 ");
    s1 gets passed here instead of value sample to the batch file.
    Pls let me know if you have a solution.
    Thanks,
    Krish

  • Need help with upgrading my OS from 10.5.8

    Need help with upgrading my OS. I havent upgraded the OS since I bought it and have version 10.5.8. Now I cant download Mountain Lion- or even Snow Leopard. When i downloaded the first version of SL- 10.6.1 it says i have to have 10.6 first and I cant find that.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple withdrew Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    UPDATE:
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

    All,
    I need help with what needs to be done to use solaris Flash for disaster recovery between the disparate Server platforms listed below.

    jds2n,
    Is it possible to get around installing the Entire Distribution + OEM and include only the platform specific files?
    Just a thought
    Example:
    I would like to create a Flash Archive of a E2900 server which i plan to use to recover a 6900.
    The 2900 was installed with a developer cluster.
    When creating the Flash archive of the 2900 is it possible to add the 6900 platform specific files and drivers
    from the Solaris CD?
    Thanks

  • Help with using a web page from disk after saved from web

    Hi, I almost forgot the little I learned about web page development, so, I'm a total noob when it comes to this and I need your help.
    I saved as a complete web page on my hard disk this web page but when I open it in Firefox or IE, it doesn't display as much as I need it. I'm mostly interested  in displaying the logo images as they appear on the original web page. The browsers just show them briefly when refreshing but hide them right away. I can see the image files downloaded to my hard drive and if I open the page in Dreamweaver it displays these images  in the preview pane but I can't make them show in the browsers. From Dreamweaver I saved the page as in the folder where the images are and this also updated the code with the relative image links but the browsers still don't show them.
    I will greatly appreciate your help with this.

    I'm sorry, but your post is very confusing
    I saved as a complete web page on my hard disk this web page
    Does this include site definitions?
    when I open it in Firefox or IE, it doesn't display as much as I need it.
    I dont know what this means...are there images that are not being displayed?  Is there styling that is not being rendered?
    . I'm mostly interested  in displaying the logo images as they appear on the original web page. The browsers just show them briefly when refreshing but hide them right away.

    Do you have a link to the page, and perhaps some explanation that is more clear as to what your issue is.
