public void setDebug(boolean debug)

Sets the client in detailed logging mode.

Parameters:

debug - whether to log in details or not.

getDebug

public boolean getDebug()

Gets the debug level used.

Returns:

whether the client is in detail logging mode.

connect

public void connect(String host,

             throws Exception

Creates a connection to the given host and port. The security of the two channels established is determined by the other two input parameters.

Parameters:

host - the host to connect to.

port - the port to connect to.

useSSLonCommandChannel - whether to use SSL on the command channel.

useSSLonDataChannel - whether to use SSL on the data channel.

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem during the connection establishment.

disconnect

public void disconnect()

Disconnects the client from the FTP server.

login

public void login(String user,
                  String password)
