org.apache.commons.net.ftp.* doesn’t seem to be included in the android APIs. Try adding the library to your project /libs folder.

EDIT: Is your FTP library included in the build path? Right-click on the project and go to Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries, click Add JARs, and add your library from the project’s /libs folder. Then click on Order and Export and make sure it’s checked to include it in your application when it is build.
