I am using commons-net package for the first time and using the code below to ftp a file from a FileZilla server over SSL. I am facing an error when I run the program. What is wrong in the code?
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import org.apache.commons.net.PrintCommandListener;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPReply;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPSClient;
public class CommonsNetFTPSTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "ssl");
String server = "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX";
String username = "USER_TEST";
String password = "ABCD1234";
String remoteFile = "/Data/Input/PH240819";
String localFile = "PH240819";
String protocol = "SSL"; // TLS / null (SSL)
int port = 990;
int timeoutInMillis = 10000;
boolean isImpicit = true;
FTPSClient client = new FTPSClient(protocol, isImpicit);
client.setDataTimeout(timeoutInMillis);
client.addProtocolCommandListener(new PrintCommandListener(new PrintWriter(System.out)));
System.out.println("################ Connecting to Server ################################");
try
{
int reply;
System.out.println("################ Connect Call ################################");
client.connect(server, port);
client.login(username, password);
System.out.println("################ Login Success ################################");
//client.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
client.setFileType(FTP.NON_PRINT_TEXT_FORMAT);
client.execPBSZ(0); // Set protection buffer size
client.execPROT("P"); // Set data channel protection to private
client.enterLocalPassiveMode();
System.out.println("Connected to " + server + ".");
reply = client.getReplyCode();
if (!FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(reply))
{
client.disconnect();
System.err.println("FTP server refused connection.");
System.exit(1);
}
client.listFiles();
boolean retrieved = client.retrieveFile(remoteFile, new FileOutputStream(localFile));
}
catch (Exception e)
{
if (client.isConnected())
{
try
{
client.disconnect();
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
System.err.println("Could not connect to server.");
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
finally
{
//client.disconnect();
client.logout();
System.out.println("# client disconnected");
}
}
}
Error is below-

Looks like it is not going beyond the point where the login is called. The user id and password is all correct. I have an SSL Certificate which was given to me by the folks hosting the FileZilla server and after extracting the certificate to certfile.txt file using openSSL, I have installed it in my java/jre/lib/security/cacerts using command below-
keytool -import -alias "cert" -file certfile.txt -keystore /usr/java5/jre/lib/security/cacerts
I am still not able to determine the cause of the error. as per the execution log prior to the error text , it looks like it successfully connects and handshakes, but something goes wrong right after that. I am running the program from a Unix box (AIX 5.3), which is the client machine.
Help!
