What Java FTP client library should I use

Question

Since I received no positives answers to my last question  I will try to write a Java FTP upload applet myself   My question is   Can you recommend a Java FTP client library for me to use    I want it to be    stable able to handle passive and active modes able to provide upload progress information throw catchable exceptions if something went wrong  especially when an upload does not succeed  cheap free to use  preferably open source   I found this overview of some libraries  but since this article is from 2003  maybe some new developments have happened

Check out Apache commons-net  which contains FTP utilities  Off the top of my head I m not sure if it meets all of your requirements  but it s certainly free

Yes  EnterpriseDT s edtFTPj is stable  first released in 2000   has all the features you might need  and is open source as well    It s used in a bunch of open source projects  as well as in many commercial projects   and is acknowledged to be one of the fastest client libraries around    As another poster noted  if you do wish to upgrade to SFTP and or FTPS  it is a simple upgrade path with very few code changes required

I have successfully used the Enterprise DT FTP library  which is free and open source  I can t compare it to other libraries  like the Apache Commons Net library  since I haven t used them  It does provide a simple upgrade path to SFTP  over SSH  and FTPS  over SSL   though that is a pay-for commercial product
