NET FTPClient changeWorkingDirectory
I am using the commons-net-1.3.0.jar libraries.
The changeWorkingDirectory(String) requires a Class
String as the path. If I put the path between double
quotes, the directory is changed. If I use a String
variable, the directory is not changed.
For example,
FTPClient ftp = new FTPClient();
...
ftp.changeWorkingDirectory("/tmp");
This will change me to the /tmp directory.
However,
String dir = "/tmp";
ftp.changeWorkingDirectory(dir);
For some reason, I will not be placed in the /tmp
directory that is assigned to a String variable.
Even this will not work:
ftp.changeWorkingDirectory(dir + "/test");
Is this is a known bug?
Gary

Gary,
I think you may need to give us the context ( ie: more code ) around
what you are doing. Constant string or variable shouldn't matter.
Sometimes while I'm tracking these types of issues down, I write a small
little test case with out my *application* getting in the way. Maybe
you've tried that already?
