Secure FTP with org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient

Question

Is there a way I can implement a secure FTP with org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient?

If not, what are other options for Java?

Answer 1

First, make sure you understand a difference between FTPS (Secure FTP) and SFTP:
FTPS versus SFTP versus SCP

---

• If you need FTPS (aka Secure FTP or FTP over TLS/SSL), you can use FTPSClient class from Apache Commons library instead of FTPClient.

• If you need SFTP (over SSH), you need a different library. See:
  How to retrieve a file from a server via SFTP? or
  Java SFTP Transfer Library.
