Error when connecting to FTP using apache commons

I am using apache common library for connecting to FTP with Android app.
Now I want to upload a file from internal storage to FTP server and I get this reply from getReplyString() method.
And I get this msg
553 Can't open that file: Permission denied
//Write file to the internal storage
String path = "/sdcard/";
File file = new File(path, fileName);
FileOutputStream stream = null;
try {
stream = new FileOutputStream(file);
stream.write(jsonObject.toString().getBytes());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
stream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// Read the file from resources folder.
try {
File file1 = new File(path, fileName);
Log.d("path",file1.getPath());
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream (new FileInputStream (file1.getPath()));
client.connect(FTPHost);
client.login(FTPUserName, FTPPassword);
client.enterLocalPassiveMode();
client.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
// Store file to server
Log.d("reply",client.getReplyString());
boolean res = client.storeFile("/"+fileName, in);
Log.d("reply",client.getReplyString());
Log.d("result",res+"");
client.logout();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
client.disconnect();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Delete file after Dropbox transfer fails

I try to use the official Dropbox API for uploading a zip file to my account. My project is a desktop application (standard Java). My code looks like this:
public void uploadZipFile(File file) throws Exception {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
try {
getClient(accessToken).uploadFile("/" + file.getName(), DbxWriteMode.add(), file.length(), fis);
} finally {
fis.close();
}
}
private DbxClient getClient(String accessToken) {
DbxRequestConfig dbxRequestConfig = new DbxRequestConfig(Constants.APP_NAME, Locale.getDefault().toString());
return new DbxClient(dbxRequestConfig, accessToken);
}
And I call it:
File zipFile = new File("C:\\Test\\MyFile.zip");
try {
uploadZipFile(zipFile);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
The file is transferred without any problems but then I want to delete the file after synchronization:
File zipFile = new File("C:\\Test\\MyFile.zip");
try {
uploadZipFile(zipFile);
System.out.println(zipFile.delete());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
The file is transferred successfully again, but the file still exists in the local file system and the delete method returns false.

Java FTP Upload Completed but not returning

Good day. I have imported org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP to my project and I faced some issues when upload the zip file to FTP.
When it uploads small file(<100MB), it works fine. But when it comes to larger file (>500MB), it will stops there, without returning and execute the remaining operation, even it the file is transferred to the server.
And how the function / FTP acknowledge when the transfer is done? Is there anyway to check it?
public class zipFTP
{
public boolean uploadFile(String ht, String usr, String ps, String fpath, String uploadloc)
{
FTPClient client = new FTPClient();
FileInputStream fis = null;
writeLog nLog = new writeLog();
String channel = "FTP";
boolean completed = false;
//client.setBufferSize(1048576);
client.setControlKeepAliveReplyTimeout(300);
//System.out.println(client.getBufferSize());
try
{
nLog.writeToLog(dumptoFTP.filename, channel, "Uploading...");
client.connect(ht);
client.login(usr, ps);
client.enterLocalPassiveMode();
client.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
fis = new FileInputStream(fpath);
completed = client.storeFile(uploadloc, fis);
//client.completePendingCommand(); //to complete the transaction entirely
if(completed)
{
if (dumptoFTP.isSysLog)
System.out.println("File uploaded");
nLog.writeToLog(dumptoFTP.filename, channel, "File uploaded");
}
fis.close();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
if (dumptoFTP.isSysLog)
System.out.println("Upload failed");
nLog.writeToLog(dumptoFTP.filename, channel, "Upload failed");
nLog.writeToLog(dumptoFTP.filename, channel, e.toString());
}
finally
{
try
{
if(client.isConnected())
{
client.logout();
client.disconnect();
}
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
return completed;
}
}

Ended up, setBufferSize() does the trick

Why is my .xslm file corrupted during download?

So here is the situation:
I have a .xslm file (a macro enabled excel worksheet) on server. There are no issues in opening this file on server (using ms-excel 2013).
I then edit the file using Apache POI 3.13. Save a copy of this file on server and give the other to the user for download.
(This is done just to check if we have any write issues while editing. The original purpose was just to give it as download)
The copy of this file saved on server is opened without any issues. But the one sent as download throws this error while opening it from excel 2013.
I am using Jquery.fileDownload() on the client side to make the ajax call to the server where I have my Spring Controller serving the file.
Here is my code to write the file:
Workbook workbook = null;
ServletOutputStream out = null;
InputStream inputStream = null;
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
OPCPackage inputFilePackage = OPCPackage.open(<original file saved on server>);
workbook = WorkbookFactory.create(inputFilePackage);
//Do Some stuff to edit workbook here
fos = new FileOutputStream("temp.xlsm");
workbook.write(fos);
fos.close();
inputStream = new FileInputStream("temp.xlsm"); // The file that is created just now
servletResponse.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12");
servletResponse.setHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=NewFile.xlsm");
servletResponse.setHeader("Set-Cookie", "fileDownload=true; path=/");
out = servletResponse.getOutputStream();
// workbook.write(out); // Was previously using this method to directly write to ServletOutputStream
int i;
while ((i = inputStream.read()) != -1) {
out.write(i);
}
out.flush();
// new File("temp.xlsm").delete();
}
catch (Exception e) {
LOGGER.error(e.getMessage(), e);
}
finally {
if (out != null) {
try {
out.close();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
LOGGER.error(ex.getMessage());
}
}
if (inputStream != null) {
try {
inputStream.close();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
LOGGER.error(ex.getMessage());
}
}
}
return "success";
Also I can clearly see the difference between the size of both the files.
The file which is opening without issues is (436,129 bytes) while the file throwing the error is (436,136 bytes). I am not sure from where these extra bytes are coming.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Java - Storing File on FTP Server fails

I am trying to store a byteArrayInputStream as File on a FTP Server. I could already connect to the Server and change the working path, but triggering the method to store the Stream as File on the Server returns always false.
I am using the apache FTPClient.
Can someone please give me a hint where my mistake can be!?
Here the Code:
String filename = "xyz.xml"
// connection returns true
connectToFtpServer(ftpHost, ftpUser, ftpPassword, exportDirectory);
// byteArray is not void
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArray);
try {
// change returns true
result = ftpClient.changeWorkingDirectory(exportDirectory);
// storing the file returns false
result = ftpClient.storeFile(filename, byteArrayInputStream);
byteArrayInputStream.close();
ftpClient.logout();
} catch (...) {
...
} finally {
// disconnect returns true
disconnectFromFtpServer();
}

I don't believe it's your code. Here is another example that looks very similar from kodejava:
package org.kodejava.example.commons.net;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
public class FileUploadDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
FTPClient client = new FTPClient();
FileInputStream fis = null;
try {
client.connect("ftp.domain.com");
client.login("admin", "secret");
//
// Create an InputStream of the file to be uploaded
//
String filename = "Touch.dat";
fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
//
// Store file to server
//
client.storeFile(filename, fis);
client.logout();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (fis != null) {
fis.close();
}
client.disconnect();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
I agree it's file permissions. There is not a way to change permissions in java itself yet, but there are other solutions. See this thread: How do i programmatically change file permissions?
HTH,
James

It was actually a permission issue due to an invalid usergroup. After adding my user to the usergroup, i was able to store again files.
