Transfer file onto a remote server using FTP and SFTP both.

Hi ,
i want to create java application in which javaclass looks at the value of the ftpProtocol attribute and if it says ftp then the file will be transferred via FTP instead of SFTP.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
1) Write code in Java using standard FTP classes provided with JDK 1.5.

2) See if the suppliers of pscp.exe have a similar tool for normal FTP and use that.
Possibly use of http://www.ncftp.com/ncftp/doc/ncftpput.html which appears to allow transfer using command line only without needing to create control files.

Can you please advise me easiest possible solution??
or if you have any idea about this type of java application please help me.

Thanking you,
Ashish

What does this have to do with web services ?

Are you confusing FTP and FTPS ? SFTP has to do with SSH. Quoting the wikipedia entry just in case

SFTP is not FTP run over SSH, but rather a new protocol designed from the ground up by the IETF SECSH working group

Your requirements are vague and a little confusing. Please elaborate a little more on what you want to achieve

I want to create java class that class must continue to support SFTP and also FTP while transfering file.(file e.g. pdf format, xml format).

Hi!
Take a look at the FTPClient class in the Apache Commons Net project/library:
http://commons.apache.org/net/api/org/apache/commons/net/ftp/FTPClient.html
It solves at least the FTP part of your requirements.
Best wishes!

Thanks Ivan.
I will try and let you know soon..
