public class FTP
extends Task

Basic FTP client. Performs the following actions:

  • send - send files to a remote server. This is the default action.
  • get - retrive files from a remote server.
  • del - delete files from a remote server.
  • list - create a file listing.
  • chmod - change unix file permissions.
Note: Some FTP servers - notably the Solaris server - seem to hold data ports open after a "retr" operation, allowing them to timeout instead of shutting them down cleanly. This happens in active or passive mode, and the ports will remain open even after ending the FTP session. FTP "send" operations seem to close ports immediately. This behavior may cause problems on some systems when downloading large sets of files.

Since:
Ant 1.3

Method Detail

setRemotedir


public void setRemotedir(java.lang.String dir)
Sets the remote directory where files will be placed. This may be a relative or absolute path, and must be in the path syntax expected by the remote server. No correction of path syntax will be performed.


setServer


public void setServer(java.lang.String server)
Sets the FTP server to send files to.


setPort


public void setPort(int port)
Sets the FTP port used by the remote server.


setUserid


public void setUserid(java.lang.String userid)
Sets the login user id to use on the specified server.


setPassword


public void setPassword(java.lang.String password)
Sets the login password for the given user id.


setBinary


public void setBinary(boolean binary)
If true, uses binary mode, otherwise text mode (default is binary).


setPassive

setVerbose


public void setVerbose(boolean verbose)

setNewer


public void setNewer(boolean newer)
A synonym for depends. Set to true to transmit only new or changed files.

public void setDepends(boolean depends)
Set to true to transmit only files that are new or changed from their remote counterparts. The default is to transmit all files.


setSeparator


public void setSeparator(java.lang.String separator)
Sets the remote file separator character. This normally defaults to the Unix standard forward slash, but can be manually overridden using this call if the remote server requires some other separator. Only the first character of the string is used.


setChmod


public void setChmod(java.lang.String theMode)
Sets the file permission mode (Unix only) for files sent to the server.


setUmask


public void setUmask(java.lang.String theUmask)
Sets the default mask for file creation on a unix server.

public void addFileset(FileSet set)
A set of files to upload or download


setAction


public void setAction(java.lang.String action)
               throws BuildException
Deprecated. setAction(String) is deprecated and is replaced with setAction(FTP.Action) to make Ant's Introspection mechanism do the work and also to encapsulate operations on the type in its own class.

Sets the FTP action to be taken. Currently accepts "put", "get", "del", "mkdir" and "list".

BuildException

setAction


public void setAction(FTP.Action action)
               throws BuildException
Sets the FTP action to be taken. Currently accepts "put", "get", "del", "mkdir", "chmod" and "list".

BuildException

public void setListing(java.io.File listing)
                throws BuildException
The output file for the "list" action. This attribute is ignored for any other actions.

BuildException

setSkipFailedTransfers


public void setSkipFailedTransfers(boolean skipFailedTransfers)
If true, enables unsuccessful file put, delete and get operations to be skipped with a warning and the remainder of the files still transferred.


setIgnoreNoncriticalErrors


public void setIgnoreNoncriticalErrors(boolean ignoreNoncriticalErrors)
set the flag to skip errors on directory creation. (and maybe later other server specific errors)


checkConfiguration


protected void checkConfiguration()
                           throws BuildException
Checks to see that all required parameters are set.

BuildException

                            FileSet fs)
                     throws java.io.IOException,
                            BuildException
For each file in the fileset, do the appropriate action: send, get, delete, or list.

java.io.IOException
BuildException

java.io.IOException
BuildException

resolveFile


protected java.lang.String resolveFile(java.lang.String file)
Correct a file path to correspond to the remote host requirements. This implementation currently assumes that the remote end can handle Unix-style paths with forward-slash separators. This can be overridden with the separator task parameter. No attempt is made to determine what syntax is appropriate for the remote host.


createParents


protected void createParents(com.oroinc.net.ftp.FTPClient ftp,
                             java.lang.String filename)
                      throws java.io.IOException,
                             BuildException

                             java.lang.String remoteFile)
                      throws java.io.IOException,
                             BuildException
Checks to see if the remote file is current as compared with the local file. Returns true if the remote file is up to date.

java.io.IOException
BuildException

doSiteCommand


protected void doSiteCommand(com.oroinc.net.ftp.FTPClient ftp,
                             java.lang.String TheCMD)

java.io.IOException
BuildException

sendFile


protected void sendFile(com.oroinc.net.ftp.FTPClient ftp,

                 throws java.io.IOException,
                        BuildException
Sends a single file to the remote host. filename may contain a relative path specification. When this is the case, sendFile will attempt to create any necessary parent directories before sending the file. The file will then be sent using the entire relative path spec - no attempt is made to change directories. It is anticipated that this may eventually cause problems with some FTP servers, but it simplifies the coding.

java.io.IOException
BuildException

delFile


protected void delFile(com.oroinc.net.ftp.FTPClient ftp,
                       java.lang.String filename)

Delete a file from the remote host.

java.io.IOException
BuildException

getFile


protected void getFile(com.oroinc.net.ftp.FTPClient ftp,

                       java.lang.String filename)
                throws java.io.IOException,
                       BuildException
Retrieve a single file to the remote host. filename may contain a relative path specification.

The file will then be retreived using the entire relative path spec - no attempt is made to change directories. It is anticipated that this may eventually cause problems with some FTP servers, but it simplifies the coding.

java.io.IOException
BuildException

listFile


protected void listFile(com.oroinc.net.ftp.FTPClient ftp,
                        java.io.BufferedWriter bw,
                        java.lang.String filename)
