URGENT: FTP Client / Server using RMI

[lwinn213]

Hi All.

I have been given a task where I have been asked to implement a Java RMI version of an SFTP (Simple File Transfer Protocol) Client / Server. It must use the following commands:

list - list files in current directory
cd - change directory
get filename - copy file from server to client
put - upload file from client to server
bye - close connection

In essence, a FTPServer Factory has to be created which i'm guessing would use the rmi registry to handle requests between the client and server.

I have the RMI part figured out, just trying to get the FTP part working...

I decided to use the Java Library from JScape Inet Factory and all classes compile, the Ftp Server is running and waits for a connection on port 1099 the designated default RMI port.

When the Client starts up it asks user to confirm localhost name and then asks user for username and password, these are hardcoded as "user" and "pass" respectively.

The client then begins to log in, the client finds the RMI name through the registry and then trys to log into the FTP server, but everytime it tries to do this it times out as it cannot see the FTP Server. Any ideas??

I have attached code for FTPServer, the Implementation and the Client...any help would be appreciated

Thanks
