URGENT: FTP Client / Server using RMI

Apr 22nd, 2006

Hi All.

I have been given a task where I have been asked to implement a Java RMI version of an SFTP (Simple File Transfer Protocol) Client / Server. It must use the following commands:

list - list files in current directory
cd - change directory
get filename - copy file from server to client
put - upload file from client to server
bye - close connection

In essence, a FTPServer Factory has to be created which i'm guessing would use the rmi registry to handle requests between the client and server.

I have the RMI part figured out, just trying to get the FTP part working...

I decided to use the Java Library from JScape Inet Factory and all classes compile, the Ftp Server is running and waits for a connection on port 1099 the designated default RMI port.

When the Client starts up it asks user to confirm localhost name and then asks user for username and password, these are hardcoded as "user" and "pass" respectively.

The client then begins to log in, the client finds the RMI name through the registry and then trys to log into the FTP server, but everytime it tries to do this it times out as it cannot see the FTP Server. Any ideas??

I have attached code for FTPServer, the Implementation and the Client...any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Re: URGENT: FTP Client / Server using RMI

what do you mean, it "cannot see the server"?

Log the remote object as it is returned, what are you getting for the endpoint?

If your hostsfile is configured wrong your server might pass your clients an incorrect IP address to use when making calls on the remote object, leading to those calls getting lost and the client reporting a "connection refused" or similar error.

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

Re: URGENT: FTP Client / Server using RMI

Apr 22nd, 2006

I decided to use sockets to run the FTP server and call the methods that the FTP Server and Client using RMI, is this correct?

Well i've been trying to implement this but everytime I try and launch the server I get an IOException error

RmiFtpServer IO Error: Connection refused: connect

if i run the server without calling the Socket outgoing call then it works in a way.

I thought it could have been my firewall refusing the connection, but then if the program is running on 1 machine would the firewall even be used, i didn't think so. So I opened ports 20 and 21 (FTP Ports) but still produced the same exception error.

Any ideas??

Re: URGENT: FTP Client / Server using RMI

So, the server can't bind the remote.
Hardly surprising if you have no RMI registry running.

And you never even try to find the registry you're trying to register your remote object with, so it's no surprise you can't register it.

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

RMI Registry works fine, I created 2 batch files and get output and no RemoteExceptions, I can attach screen shots if necessary

Re: URGENT: FTP Client / Server using RMI

Follow up to previous post. I think I have Sockets issued sorted, I called them before initialising RMI and it seems to have worked.

I have attached a screenshot of the RMI registry and server running, plus the 2 batch files for jwenting's benefit as he said I wasn't running them.

I just need to work out how to run FTP commands using the inetfactory.jar library, i just get connection times out

Any ideas why the connection is not starting, i think it's something to do with the FTP not seeing the server running despite it being set up as a ServerSocket on port 21...hmmm

I will post more code later...

Click here for screenshot as mentioned...

Thanks

RMI as standard runs on port 1099, not port 21.

I know that RMI runs on port 1009, but I need to create an FTP Client Server solution so have decided to use Sockets running on port 21 and the File class, i've scrapped using FTP classes. I will just call the methods which simulate FTP commands using the File class via RMI.

I will get a workaround solution done later.

You can't have it both ways. Either you use RMI and the ports it gives you, or you code your own sockets implementation and use whatever port you want.
