Why not just create your own implementation of FTP by using Sockets and sending a collection of bytes from one application to another then have the receiving application write those bytes to a File (or FileDescriptor object if that is possible).

Edit: Here's an Open-Source API that seems promising - Linkage

Seconded on using Sockets. Unless the FTP thing is a requirement of your assignment. Here is where help on using Sockets can be found. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/

FTP i guess is more reliable as compared to sockets. plus i have to transfer large setup files 1.5 or 2 g b i guess in this case FTP would be better...

Well heres one I had come across a while ago : JeFTPd (Java Embeddable FTP Server).
I think it appears to be what you are looking for, but it is still in experimental stage.
