etdftpj trbasic questions- memory and retry

Question

Hi All,

I am working on a project and we are planning to use the etdftpj product for doing some file transfers. But before going ahead and using it I need some questions answered. It would be great if someone can provide me with some details.

1. How do i implement multi threading so that I can have parallel processing achieved?

2. How does this tool work? Does it load all the files in system memory before transmitting it to the destination system or is there any other mechanism? What about the JVM memory?

3. Is there any documented max size limit for this open source?

4. Does it have retry mechanism inbuilt where in it can try reconnecting if the process breaks in the middle?

5. Does it have the mechanism if the transferred files are good or corrupt?

Answer 1

1. Have multiple instances of FTPClient each in a separate thread.

2. Files are read bit by bit and transferred bit by bit. No memory limitations for most methods.

3. No.

4. It has resume functionality which is easily used.

5. It can't tell if the transferred files are corrupt. You would need to do that yourself.
