Have a look at the classes in the package java.net. See these examples.
What protocol are you using? HTTP, FTP or something else? For FTP, see Apache Jakarta Commons Net. [ November 13, 2007: Message edited by: Jesper Young ]
Thanks for your reply. I am using HTTP protocol. Actually my file(XLS) is successfully downloaded as an attachment, i can open it,view it . I am using Commons package for parsing it, and is gives exception while parsing.
Actually, after downloading the file , i was using jxl package to get(read) the cell contents, but i used table format to write it on output...so when i tried to upload it again, it was not pure xls file, hence the biff exception.
Now i am using writeble workbook to write.
Thanks for your time and help.
