Hi,

I need to connect to ftp server through a proxy which only can use
a http tunnel (no socks). Does anyone know an api to do it?

Thanks.

I have no idea whether there is any java library that is able to do
such tunneling. Try libraries compared in this article:

I you are permitted to run an HTTP server where normally would exist
an FTP client, you could use something like the Replicator running on
your server to fetch the files from your client and keep them up to
date. to distribute to the world. The Replicator works using pure
HTTP.

That's backwards from the way I'm using it now. See
