I really have a problem while trying to upload a file into my servers root directory. I know that the File-Class cannot handle directorys like http://localhost:8080/rootdata.
Please do not tell me not to upload files to the root. I just want to know how to do that.
So is there a way bringing up my files in that root directory via java?
Thanks for any help
Use Apache's FTP library to browse and retrieve files from your servers filesystem. You can list out all the files in the root directory by using:
.listFiles()
Example:
String hostname = properties.getProperty("FTP_SERVER");
String user = properties.getProperty("FTP_USER");
String passwd = properties.getProperty("FTP_PASSWD");
FTPClient client = new FTPClient();
client.connect(hostname);
client.login(user, passwd);
String reply = client.getStatus();
System.out.println(reply);
client.enterRemotePassiveMode();
client.changeWorkingDirectory("/");
FTPFile[] files = client.listFiles();

I have a CSV file, and I need to copy it and rename it in the same path.
I tried this after the FTP login:
InputStream inputStream = ftpClient.retrieveFileStream(cvs_name +".csv");
ftpClient.storeFile(cvs_name2 + ".csv",inputStream);
But when I verify the file on the server, it's empty. How can I copy a file and rename it?
I believe your code cannot work. You cannot download and upload a file over a single FTP connection at the same time.
You have two options:
Download the file completely first (to a temporary file or to a memory).
The accepted answer to How to copy a file on the ftp server to a directory on the same server in java? shows the "to memory" solution. Note the outputStream.toByteArray() call.
Open two connections (two instances of the FTPClient) and copy the file between the instances.
InputStream inputStream = ftpClient1.retrieveFileStream(cvs_name + ".csv");
ftpClient2.storeFile(cvs_name2 + ".csv", inputStream);
Im trying to download file from FTP in android using Apache Commons library and Im always getting Error EROFS (Read only file-system). I tried to make directory on the server instead, using ftpClient.makeDirectory("xxx") and that works completely fine. I also tried to do this without using passive mode and I made sure that path to file is right but with the same result. Using total comander - everything works so its not the permission issue. Thanks for reply.
FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient();
ftpClient.setConnectTimeout(xxx);
ftpClient.connect(InetAddress.getByName("xxx",xxx);
ftpClient.login("xxx", "yyy");
ftpClient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
ftpClient.enterLocalPassiveMode();
FileOutputStream buffIn = null;
buffIn = new FileOutputStream(new File("/file")); //here I get the crash
ftpClient.retrieveFile("file", buffIn);
buffIn.close();
ftpClient.logout();
ftpClient.disconnect();
new File("/file"). That is not possible as that would be in the root of the filesystem. So your path is wrong. You should first decide where to save the file. You can choose from internal, external or removable memory. Should it have the name 'file'?
It seems that my code won't work after learning that the machine that I'll be pointing the upload path to is a Linux box.
My use case is, a user logs in to the web app, chooses a file to upload, then click upload button. Is it possible to do this direct from the Java code to the Linux server using appropriate ssh or scp libraries if there is any?
EDIT: Here's my current code.
#Override
public void fileTransfer(File uploadedFile, String fileName, String pathTemp) {
File destFile = new File( pathTemp + File.separator + fileName);
try{
FileUtils.copyFile(uploadedFile, destFile);
String getTempFile = destFile.toString();
String tempPath = getTempFile.replace("\\", "\\\\");
File tempFile = new File(tempPath); // 1st file
String tempFileName = tempFile.getName();
String fileSave = getUploadPathSave().replace("\\", "\\\\");
tempFile.renameTo(new File(fileSave + tempFileName));
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.out.println("Could not copy file " + fileName);
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
If your app is deployed at one place only (not mass distribution), the easiest way would be:
create samba share on linux machine
map samba share to logical drive on windows machine
do usual file copy with java functions.
attention: renameTo will not work between drives. You'll need to copy input stream to output stream or, better, use apache commons-io functions for that.
There are different possibilities:
If you can create a shared directory in linux and mount it under windows (see Samba. Then you can write to that directory like a local directory. File will go to the linux server.
Use a library like Jsch to upload the file from windows server to linux server.
There are certain things you can do:
1-> If you can program your linux server, then you can make a program that listens to user request on a port, and stores data in file. Then you can send you files to that port of server.
2-> The other way is you can use some sort of script to create ssh-connection to server and then you can just add file through ssh, but here your java program will not be useful.
I personally use my own program to share files between 2 machines in same network.
You can use it,if it will be useful for you: https://github.com/RishabhRD/xshare
File dir = new File(System.getProperty("user.home")+"\\Desktop\\" + svc);
dir.mkdir();
File f;
f = new File(System.getProperty("user.home")+"\\Desktop\\" + svc
+ "\\" + logFile + "_" + System.currentTimeMillis()
+ ".txt");
I am using this code to store the files in the user(client) machine.But it is storing the files in the server machine.Can anyone help me on this? I have deployed my war file in unix server.
Saving a file on a client machine from software running on a server is not as simple as that.
Servers do not have direct access to the file system of any client - it would be very insecure if that were the case.
The simplest way to do this is by making the server return a web page with a link which the user can click to download the file.
You could also do something more complicated, for example write an applet that downloads the file (using some file transfer protocol) and saves it in the local file system. The applet would need to have the appropriate permissions (by default, applets cannot access the local file system).
Seems like this code is part of a Web Application Server Side. In this case System.getProperty("user.home") will return Server's home directory.
I am trying to read a file which is in the remote linux server. But I do not know how to get the inputstream of the file using java.
How can this be done?
Assuming that by "remote linux server" you mean "remote linux shell", you should use an ssh library like JSch. You can find a file download example here.
Maybe SSHJ can help you? https://github.com/shikhar/sshj
Features of the library include:
reading known_hosts files for host key verification
publickey, password and keyboard-interactive authentication
command, subsystem and shell channels
local and remote port forwarding
scp + complete sftp version 0-3 implementation
Assuming you have a working connection to the server and access to the file, you can create a File object with the URI of the file:
File f = new File(uri);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
The URI should be the URI to the file, for example "file://server/path/to/file".
See also the Javadoc for File(URI) .
It depends on how is the file available. Is it by HTTP, FTP, SFTP or through a server you wrote yourself ?
If your want to get the file through HTTP, you can use this :
HttpURLConnection connec = (HttpURLConnection)new URL("http://host/file").openConnection();
if(connec.getResponseCode() != connec.HTTP_OK)
{
System.err.println("Not OK");
return;
}
System.out.println("length = " + connec.getContentLength());
System.out.println("Type = " + connec.getContentType());
InputStream in = connec.getInputStream();
//Now you can read the file content with in
There is also Jsch library which is very good for SFTP / SCP
You can use any ssh java lib, as was mentioned in other answers, or mount directory with file as NFS share folder. After mounting you can use usual java API to acsess file.
