Hi
I have one more problem . first i try to read the file and write the file in local directory . then i try to read the data in the remote file .. iam getting the datas as null.
InputStream ip = ftp.retrieveFileStream(path);                    
File f = new File("D:\\ftp.txt");                    
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
while ((len = ip.read(buf)) > 0) {                         
fo.write(buf,0,len);               
fo.close();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ip));
String line;
do {
line = br.readLine();
System.out.println(" data " +line);
}while (line != null);
