How to connect to an FTP server

Connecting to an FTP server with edtFTPj/PRO is simply a matter of:

  1. Creating an FTPClient object.
    FTPClient ftp = new FTPClient();
  2. Setting the remote host.
    ftp.setRemoteHost(host);
  3. Calling the connect() method.
    ftp.connect();
  4. Logging in.
    ftp.login(username, password);
  5. Logging out and closing the connection.
    ftp.quit();

The connect() call will return when it's successfully connected, or throw an exception if it fails to connect. Similarly, the login() call will return when successfully logged into the server.
