[NET] Error in retrieving more than one file.

[Kurt Kurniawan <kk...@bigw.com.au>]

Hello all,

We have this code, where we're trying to pickup more than one file in the remote machine and put locally.
But I always get the value of ios=null on the second iteration when it's trying to pick up the second file.

The FtpClient seems to be still connected.

I can reconnect and pick that file again, but that is not an efficient way to do.

Is there any  reasons why is this happened ? Can anyone give me some hints of what happened ?

The code is just examples of what my project does, I have to do this in this way instead of using retrieveFile(java.lang.String remote, java.io.OutputStream local), because I need it to return as InputStream.

Thank you for any help.

code:

public class ExperimentFTP {


	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("Start process");
	
		Log log=LogFactory.getLog(ExperimentFTP.class);
		String directory="/usr/egate/tst";
		String fileregex="rm_lo_ftp*";
		Vector filesV=new Vector();
		Pattern ptrn=Pattern.compile(fileregex);
		Matcher match;
		FileOutputStream fos;
	
		FTPClient ftp=new FTPClient();
	
		try{
			ftp.connect("theHost");
			ftp.login("xxx","xxx");
		
			ftp.changeWorkingDirectory(directory);
		
			FTPFile[] files = ftp.listFiles(directory);
		
			//iterate and collect !!
			for(int f=0;f<files.length;f++){
				//log filename here !!
				log.debug("Filename: "+files[f].getName());
			
				//log --if any match then add to list.
				match=ptrn.matcher(files[f].getName());
				if(match.find()){
					filesV.add(files[f].getName());
					log.debug("Add the file name: "+files[f].getName()+" to the list");
				}
			
			}
		
			//now try to pick up the file and send.
			Enumeration e=filesV.elements();
		
			while(e.hasMoreElements()){
				String fileElement=(String)e.nextElement();
				log.debug("Writing the file: "+fileElement);
			
				InputStream ios=ftp.retrieveFileStream(fileElement);
			
				fos = new FileOutputStream("c:/myDir/"+fileElement);
			
			
				//write to the file
				byte[] buffer=new byte[4096]; //byte to hold the content make it 4KB at one read
				int bytes_read; //number of bytes in buffer
			
				log.debug("Writing the file");
			
				while((bytes_read=ios.read(buffer))!=-1){
					fos.write(buffer,0,bytes_read);
				}
			
			}
		
		
		}catch(IOException e){
		
			log.error("There is error in the process ",e);
		}
	
	}
}
