	I am working on a project where I need to access FTP server using its domain, username and password. I want to save data and retrieve data from there. Please suggest any solution for this. asked 38 mins ago

Look for commons net apache library - http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-net/. It provides a tools for work with FTP. Code example for download video file. FileOutputStream videoOut; File targetFile = new File("path"); FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient(); try { ftpClient.connect("your.ftp.address", 21); ftpClient.enterLocalPassiveMode(); ftpClient.login("login", "password"); ftpClient.setFileType(FTPClient.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);// Used for video targetFile.createNewFile(); videoOut = new FileOutputStream(targetFile); boolean result=ftpClient.retrieveFile("/" + "filename-to-download", videoOut); ftpClient.disconnect(); videoOut.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); } I don't work with file upload but I think there are a lot of examples in web. answered 36 mins ago
