I would recommend using an Ftplet to trap the "STOR", "STOU" and "APPE" commands and from the beforeCommand method, check the data type in use using the FtpSession.getDataType() and reject the STOR request if it is not binary. You can send a reply back to client with waht ever message you want to say. The client then would definitely know what he is doing wrong and will try the upload again with the proper data type.
If you do not like this solution, it is open source, so you can tap into the code change it however you like :) Regards, Sai Pullabhotla Phone: (402) 408-5753 Fax: (402) 408-6861 www.jMethods.com On Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 8:36 AM, Johannes Katelaan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Yes in fact this is what I want.
