Applet will not work with SFTP

I'm not sure what you mean by 'client modifications'. edtFTPj/PRO can work inside a signed applet. I know for certain that it can work if you include the contents of license.jar and edtftpj-pro.jar in the same signed jar file that contains your applet code. If you do this then the user will be prompted when the application is loaded. If they opt to trust your applet then SFTP should work. I've just tried this and it worked fine.

Is that what you are trying to do or am I misunderstanding something? If that is what you're trying to do and you're still having trouble then I can send you a sample SFTP applet that you can test on your system. Just write to our support address if you would like a copy.

Client modifications as in modifying policy files, etc.

In my applet example, I did not include your JAR with my JAR, but I added it in the ARCHIVE, along with my jar.. like this:

<applet>
...
archive="myapplet.jar, license.jar, edt...jar (forgot the exact name)"
...
</applet>

I am signing my jar -- Self signing it (not with Thwarte or Verisign). But yes, that is what I want to do, connect to my OpenSSH server via an applet. I'll have to try it later on today, but I will send the email to get the sample you created.

I was initially using "com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.ssl. SSLFTPClient" which was throwing that error.
After going through other FTP options - I changed it to "com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.pro.ProFTPClient"
This got rid of the error, but my applet was still not deployed, due to inconsistency of certificates being used.


Since its an applet, with other jars. EDTFTPj-pro has its own certificate.
All these jars had to be consolidated to use one certificate. I created a fake certificate for development.

After correcting that, I was able to deploy the applet succesfully

Thanks

Hi Abhishek

Thanks for telling us how you solved the problem. It really should have worked using SSLFTPClient. Our own applet product, , uses SSLFTPClient so we know that it can work. If you find that you do need to use SSLFTPClient then we're here to help.
