FTP protocol in Codename One

Is it possible to use the FTP protocol (with user and password) to download a very huge file (about 100GB) in a Codename One desktop app?

Is it possible to use the FTP protocol in all the Codename One supported platforms?

Solution

  • There's nothing specific. It's possible the URL class will work but we can't guarantee it since its only been tested for http.

    As long as you don't need SFTP, if I recall correctly the protocol is pretty simple. You can just open the connection using the TCP sockets cn1lib and just download through there. Alternatively a native interface is also a possibility.
