Android Question FTP a network file?

[jeronimovilar]

is it possible to put (ftp) a net file using Android?
example:

ftp.Initialize("ftp", "your.server", 21, "user", "password")
ftp.UploadFile("\\192.168.0.100\folder", "somefile", False, "/somefile")

ftp.UploadFile("\\192.168.0.100\folder", "somefile", False, "/somefile")

Probably no.
- As the \\path is a Networkpath you need to access this path using SMB library first (the FTP Library does not have access to any SMB Resource).
- Download the fileto your device
- and then you can upload it to FTP.

If the SMB Library is not working for you as you need to use SMB 2 Protocol: You can try my jcifs-ng Library.

If a FTP server is running on the PC then it is possible to access it.

No. My file is on the PC´s and server on Internet

I'm afraid that I don't understand the question in this thread. You can use the FTP library to upload files to any FTP server.

- my app is on smart and tablet
- connect to my FTP server is ok.
- the PC and the smart/tablet is on INTRANET
- the FTP server is on INTERNET
- If my file on smart to upload is ok, but...
but i need to upload a file that is on PC (\\192.168.0.10\folder shared\file.txt) to FTP Server (177.55.116.184) using my android app.

ftp.Initialize("ftp", "177.155.116.184", 21, "user", "password")
ftp.UploadFile("\\192.168.0.100\FolderShared", "somefile", False, "/somefile")

is it clear?

 

[Erel]

Yes. DonManfred answer is the correct answer. You need to first download the file from the PC. You can do it with SMB or by running a FTP server on the PC.

 

[jeronimovilar]

OK. do you have a example using this SMB?

 

[DonManfred]

You should start a new thread for any new question.
Additionally you should check the available example first.
