> Hello,
> I'm new with Java (well, I have develop some programs, but not so hard....until now) and I'm trying to create an applet which can open an ftp connection from the client side to the server one, and download several files (I don't know if it's the best way to do what I want, but as far as I have read in internet, this is the most common and easy method used by many people).
> The problem is about the FTPClient class:
> I am able to connect, logon, set transfer mode, change the working directory, list the names of the directory...but when I try to perform a simple call to the  "retrieveFile (remote, local)" method, I'm getting a NullPointerException (the call to that method is done after clicking on a download button):

> The remote server, directory and file whithin is included the "Remote_file.txt" exists, and the print line shows all this info if I catch the "NullPointerException" (also shows a "false" when calling to the success variable).
> I have googled a lot (and still googling), but found almost nothing useful and I would appreciate a lot any help (also if you need additional info, please let me know).
> Thanks in advance
