RE: [dsdp-tm-dev] Re: [platform-team-dev] RE: what are thePlatformplans for Team/FTP?
|
As far as I know, one of the biggest problems for FTP clients
is proper directory parsing for the various platforms and
servers. Because the FTP protocol RFC does not exactly
prescribe the format for directory listings.
Commons/Net has put quite some work in there, they have
directory parsers for DOS, Windows, UNIX, VMS, z/OS. Plus
they have some framework for contributing directory parsers,
and for detecting the type of target platform. I don't think
the org.eclipse.ftp plugin has quite that support for
different target platforms yet.
I'm also not sure about other features like re-get, passive
mode, multi-thread simultaneous downloads (performance).
For details you might find this article interesting:

Michael what would you say about the quality of FTP and
WebDAV?
The other advantage of Commons/Net is that it integrates
with Ant directly, so Ant tasks for Rlogin, rcp, telnet,
ftp are available immediately as soon as Commons/Net
is in the ant classpath.
Cheers,
Martin
