I have a CSV file, and I need to copy it and rename it in the same path.
I tried this after the FTP login:
InputStream inputStream = ftpClient.retrieveFileStream(cvs_name +".csv");
ftpClient.storeFile(cvs_name2 + ".csv",inputStream);
But when I verify the file on the server, it's empty. How can I copy a file and rename it?
I believe your code cannot work. You cannot download and upload a file over a single FTP connection at the same time.
You have two options:
Download the file completely first (to a temporary file or to a memory).
The accepted answer to How to copy a file on the ftp server to a directory on the same server in java? shows the "to memory" solution. Note the outputStream.toByteArray()
call.
Open two connections (two instances of the FTPClient
) and copy the file between the instances.
InputStream inputStream = ftpClient1.retrieveFileStream(cvs_name + ".csv");
ftpClient2.storeFile(cvs_name2 + ".csv", inputStream);
