correct file names are not showing properly while uploading through FTP?

[prem kanna]

Hi all,

I am using commons-net-1.4.1.jar for uploading files to server. Its working fine. In some cases while we are uploading files the files are moving properly but the file name are showing like CHAPTE~1.DOC, CHAPTE~2.DOC, CHAPTE~3.DOC, CHAPTE~4.DOC, but the original file names are in local system is Chapter 3 Integration – Trapezoidal and Simpson’s Rules.doc, Chapter 4 Exponential and Logarithmic Functions – Area Applications.doc, Chapter 4 Exponential and Logarithmic Functions – Differentiate Hence Integrate.doc, Chapter 5 Trigonometric Functions – Dynamic Graphs.doc.

In server the files are opening properly. Can any one please give some suggestion to rectify this problem? Here I have attached code.

   
ftp.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
ftp.changeWorkingDirectory(serverpath);
int reply = ftp.getReplyCode();
if(!FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(reply)) 
{
 throw new Exception ("Unable to change working directory " +
			"to in SupportiveFiles path :"+ serverpath);
 }			
}

String filename = children[i].getName().substring(0,children[i].getName().lastIndexOf("."));
String filenameextenson = children[i].getName().substring(children[i].getName().lastIndexOf(".")+1,children[i].getName().length()).toLowerCase();
String newFilename =filename +"."+filenameextenson;
String outputserverpath = serverpath+"/" + newFilename;
boolean retValue = false;
FileInputStream  instreamlocal = new FileInputStream(children[i]);
boolean retValue  = ftp.storeFile(newFilename,instreamlocal);

Looks like the machine you are uploading too doesn't support long file names. Looks like it only supports 8+3 names.
