I am using org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient in one of my applications to work with a FTP server. I am able to connect, login, pwd and cwd. However, when I try to list the files it doesn't return the list of files in that directory, where I know for sure that there are files. I am using the method FTPFile[] listFiles(), it returns an empty array of FTPFile.
Please find below the code snippet where I am trying this:
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("/uploads");
FTPFile[] files = client.listFiles();
System.out.println(files.length);
for (FTPFile file : files) {
System.out.println(file.getName());
}
String[] fileNames = client.listNames();
if (fileNames != null) {
for (String file : fileNames) {
System.out.println(file);
}
}
client.disconnect();
