Using FTP API to Upload a File Write codes to connect and do stuffs with files (e.g. change directory, browse files, upload) FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient(); ftpClient.connect(InetAddress.getByName("ftp.cs.unc.edu")); ftpClient.login("anonymous", ftpClient.changeWorkingDirectory("incoming/nirjon"); FTPFile[] files = ftpClient.listFiles(); ftpClient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE); BufferedInputStream buffIn = null; File ff = new File("/sdcard/m.txt"); buffIn = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(ff)); ftpClient.enterLocalPassiveMode(); ftpClient.storeFile("upload1.txt", buffIn); buffIn.close(); ftpClient.logout(); ftpClient.disconnect(); Tips – use permissions, use AsyncTask
