type() is a lower-level method , in fact setFileType() calls type()
internally, but setFileType() also does some book-keeping..i.e. it sets
a couple of internal variables, that are used when storing or retrieving
files. If these are not set, then you may not get the correct stream type.

Thanks for your reply. Ahhh... there is nothing like seeing sample
code. I replaced a call to type() with setFileType() and it works now!!
So the question now is: what is the difference between the two? I have
not looked at the source code but both take the same argument. One is
defined in FTP and the other in FTPClient.
BTW, the call to completePendingCommand() causes my program to hang.
This is right after I make the call to storeFile().
I have unit tested my change but I will wait until tonight for the
official build and I will let you know.

Hi Octavio
Firstly, sorry for not replying sooner - I have been out of the country.
As to your issue, it may be related to you not calling
completePendingCommand().
See the following FAQ entry "*Q:After I perform a file transfer to the
server, printWorkingDirectory() returns null." *on the FAQ page
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/Net/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
If this does not fix your issue, then feel free to send me your code and
I will take a look.
Best,
Rory

Rory,
I am new to the commons net package. I have written a small java
utility to transfer files using FTP from a workstation to a server.
When I transfer files in ASCII mode everything seems to work fine.
However when I do the same for binary files, the files are corrupted
on arrival.
Is there a special sequence of commands that must be issued for this
to work?
FTPing the same file using the standard windows/dos ftp command works
fine. I am also able to use FTP capabilities within a terminal
emulator package and everything works fine. In both situations I
target the same server. So I know that the FTP server is able to
accept to the upload commands for both binary and asccii files.
I am trying to figure out if there is perhaps a bug in the commons net
package. I can send the code if you need me to.
I apologize if this is not the proper medium for solving this, but any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Octavio
