Question

I am working on a download manager, that will support http/https/ftp protocols. I am using FTPClient from the Apache commons library to download files via FTP. I want to be able to determine the MIME-Type of the file that is about to be downloaded. Please note that I know how to use the retrieveFile method from FTPClient. I just want to get MIME-Type of file like audio/wma.

Could any one please guide me to get this ?

Thanks in advance

Well, you won’t be able to get the MIME type of a file using FTP commands as it’s not supported, therefore FTPClient has no support to provide that information. However, after you’ve downloaded the file you can use org.apache.sling.commons.mime to get the MIME type.
