Uploading images with FTP on Android

Question

How can I upload images using FTP on Android?

Answer 1

Use SimpleFTP, simply add simpleftp.jar to your classpath and import the package in whichever classes will use it: Download here

import org.jibble.simpleftp.*;

Make sure you use binary mode when uploading images and suchlike, or they may become corrupted.

try
{
    SimpleFTP ftp = new SimpleFTP();

    // Connect to an FTP server on port 21.
    ftp.connect("ftp.somewhere.net", 21, "username", "password");

    // Set binary mode.
    ftp.bin();

    // Change to a new working directory on the FTP server.
    ftp.cwd("web");

    // Upload some files.
    ftp.stor(new File("webcam.jpg"));
    ftp.stor(new File("comicbot-latest.png"));

    // You can also upload from an InputStream, e.g.
    ftp.stor(new FileInputStream(new File("test.png")), "test.png");
    ftp.stor(someSocket.getInputStream(), "blah.dat");

    // Quit from the FTP server.
    ftp.disconnect();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}

This was all the functionality, so it does not let you download files!
