FTP connection (Java)

Question

Hello,

when I connected to a FTP-Server with sockets how can I send username and password?

thank you for your answers.

Answer 1

You might want to have a look at FTPClient's source code.

Answer 2

FTP sends username and password in plain text, so you should be able to just invoke the commands and send them that way (at your own risk).
