How to execute a remote command (sendCommand) usin FTPClient

Question

How can the sendCommand method of FTPControlSocket be accessed. According to the documentation, one only need a FTPClient object to get access to the other classes. But, I cannot find the sendCommand available anywhere other than the FTPControlSocket class - but that of course cannot be instantiated on its own (protected).

Any input is appreciated! Thanks.

Answer 1

You can't access sendCommand as it is protected (by design). However you can use the quote() method of FTPClient to send a literal string to the FTP server, which is a better way to do it.

Answer 2

Excellent! That works fine!

Thanks for the reply!
