public class Client extends org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP
Client.java encapsulates functionalities necessary for nutch to get dir list and retrieve file from an FTP server. This class takes care of all low level details of interacting with an FTP server and provides a convenient higher level interface. Modified from FtpClient.java in apache commons-net. Notes by John Xing: ftp server implementations are hardly uniform and none seems to follow RFCs whole-heartedly. We have no choice, but assume common denominator as following: (1) Use stream mode for data transfer. Block mode will be better for multiple file downloading and partial file downloading. However not every ftpd has block mode support. (2) Use passive mode for data connection. So Nutch will work if we run behind firewall. (3) Data connection is opened/closed per ftp command for the reasons listed in (1). There are ftp servers out there, when partial downloading is enforced by closing data channel socket on our client side, the server side immediately closes control channel (socket). Our codes deal with such a bad behavior. (4) LIST is used to obtain remote file attributes if possible. MDTM and SIZE would be nice, but not as ubiquitously implemented as LIST. (5) Avoid using ABOR in single thread? Do not use it at all. About exceptions: Some specific exceptions are re-thrown as one of FtpException*.java In fact, each function throws FtpException*.java or pass IOException.

    • setFileType

      public boolean setFileType(int fileType) throws IOException
      Sets the file type to be transferred. This should be one of FTP.ASCII_FILE_TYPE , FTP.IMAGE_FILE_TYPE , etc. The file type only needs to be set when you want to change the type. After changing it, the new type stays in effect until you change it again. The default file type is FTP.ASCII_FILE_TYPE if this method is never called.

      Parameters:
      fileType - The _FILE_TYPE constant indcating the type of file.
      Returns:
      True if successfully completed, false if not.
      Throws:
      org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPConnectionClosedException - If the FTP server prematurely closes the connection as a result of the client being idle or some other reason causing the server to send FTP reply code 421. This exception may be caught either as an IOException or independently as itself.
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs while either sending a command to the server or receiving a reply from the server.
    • getSystemName

      public String getSystemName() throws IOException, FtpExceptionBadSystResponse
      Fetches the system type name from the server and returns the string. This value is cached for the duration of the connection after the first call to this method. In other words, only the first time that you invoke this method will it issue a SYST command to the FTP server. FTPClient will remember the value and return the cached value until a call to disconnect.

      Returns:
      The system type name obtained from the server. null if the information could not be obtained.
      Throws:
      FtpExceptionBadSystResponse - indicating bad reply of SYST command
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs while either sending a command to the server or receiving a reply from the server.
    • sendNoOp

      public boolean sendNoOp() throws IOException
      Sends a NOOP command to the FTP server. This is useful for preventing server timeouts.

      Returns:
      True if successfully completed, false if not.
      Throws:
      org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPConnectionClosedException - If the FTP server prematurely closes the connection as a result of the client being idle or some other reason causing the server to send FTP reply code 421. This exception may be caught either as an IOException or independently as itself.
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs while either sending a command to the server or receiving a reply from the server.
