i am in need of help with finding a good background ftp client code that can send a file or folder to a ftp server, i have researched for some time and found the following code below but i am not sure how to get it to run in the background.
Basically in my application i have a button and i want to setup the button to send a file to my ftp server which will be hard coded into the code and run in the background. I know i need to use and Async task method but i am not very familiar with async task method or how to implement it to a button listener. so any help or advise will be greatly appreciated. Below is the source code i am working with and having problem implementing.
Method to connect to FTP server:
public boolean ftpConnect(String host, String username, String password, int port) { try { mFTPClient = new FTPClient(); // connecting to the host mFTPClient.connect(host, port); // now check the reply code, if positive mean connection success if (FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(mFTPClient.getReplyCode())) { // login using username & password boolean status = mFTPClient.login(username, password); /* Set File Transfer Mode * * To avoid corruption issue you must specified a correct * transfer mode, such as ASCII_FILE_TYPE, BINARY_FILE_TYPE, * EBCDIC_FILE_TYPE .etc. Here, I use BINARY_FILE_TYPE * for transferring text, image, and compressed files. */ mFTPClient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE); mFTPClient.enterLocalPassiveMode(); return status; } } catch(Exception e) { Log.d(TAG, "Error: could not connect to host " + host ); } return false; }
Method to change working directory:
public boolean ftpChangeDirectory(String directory_path) { try { return mFTPClient.changeWorkingDirectory(directory_path); } catch(Exception e) { Log.d(TAG, "Error: could not change directory to " + directory_path); } return false;
Method to upload a file to FTP server:
/** * mFTPClient: FTP client connection object (see FTP connection example) * srcFilePath: source file path in sdcard * desFileName: file name to be stored in FTP server * desDirectory: directory path where the file should be upload to */ public boolean ftpUpload(String srcFilePath, String desFileName, String desDirectory) { boolean status = false; try { FileInputStream srcFileStream = new FileInputStream(srcFilePath); // change working directory to the destination directory if (ftpChangeDirectory(desDirectory)) { status = mFTPClient.storeFile(desFileName, srcFileStream); } srcFileStream.close(); return status; } catch (Exception e) { Log.d(TAG, "upload failed"); } return status; }
