Re: Client to telnet into server and then ftp to another server

Hi

I am trying to write a java client that connects to a ftp server.
The trick is that the ftp server has a private IP and is sitting
behind a Telnet server with a public IP address.

How can I go about implementing this client? [I already have the ftp
client working.].
The idea is first to connect via telnet, then connect to the ftp server
and then download/upload files.

Can I use TelnetInputStream or what other sugesstions do you have?

Thanks,

I haven't done this, but it should theoretically be possible. I'd start with a telnet client and see if you can feed it text strings and get responses just as if you were sitting at a telnet terminal. Once you get that working, just use a command line ftp client on the telnet server. Download files to the telnet server, and then to the client from there. Streaming it in one go might be trickier.
