Question

I am trying to FTP a file on to a remote machine. Below is my code :-

FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient(); 
ftpClient.connect("home.abc.com"); 
ftpClient.login("remote", "guesst12"); 
int replyCode = ftpClient.getReplyCode(); 
ftpClient.changeWorkingDirectory("share")) 
ftpClient.setFileType(FTPClient.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
InputStream input = new FileInputStream(new File("H:/testFile.txt"));
OutputStream out =  ftpClient.storeFileStream("testFile.txt");
Util.copyStream(input, out);
out.close();
input.close();
ftpClient.completePendingCommand()
ftpClient.logout();
ftpClient.disconnect();

When i execute this piece of code, the code is executed without any issues, but at the remote machine, when i check the file, the file is being created, but with no content (OKB) file. Am i missing something in code.

[Update] :
I tried with the following code for storing file :-

if(ftpClient.storeFile("testCopy.txt", input)) {
    System.out.println("File Stored Successfully");
}
System.out.println(ftpClient.getReplyString());

Now the reply code i recieved is :- 451 Failure writing to local file. What does that means.

Thanks

After looking at it over and over I keep coming up with different things.

Are you sure that the InputStream is reading the file before your copying the stream? Because I’m not sure FileInputStream read’s the file on initiation.
