Can anyone help point out what I should be researching in order to
upload a file from a client's machine (using a Java application
resident on their machine), to my web server?

thanks in advance

e.g. via FTP?

If you have a web page in your server that will listen for a file
upload, then you could use commons-httpclient to POST the file.

If you need a from-scratch solution on both sides, then have a look at
using sockets.

Thanks, these are the solutions I thought were my only options as
well... Too bad it's a dissapointment. Maybe FTp....

Oh well, I suppose that I will go the JSP route.

Thanks for the info!

Maybe if you had said you thought of these solutions already and they
didn't satisfy you, and why they didn't satisfy you, someone would have
mentioned another solution.

Why JSP? AFAIK, the only reason for using JSP is to provide an upload
link to click on. There are plenty of server-side file upload servlets
about (like the example in Jason Hunter's book), all you need is the
client-side logic, and that's not hard to do using HttpURLConnection.

I just did a quick Google and found this...

Hey! How'd that get there? I mean this..

That's a bit limiting, because it assumes a text file, but that might be
OK for you. It would need some reworking for binary data. Probably need
to send it as a multipart attachment.

Cheers,
Luke

If you use URLConnection, You cannot upload files with large amount
(Eg: larger than 100MB or whatsoever ). So, If you want to use Socket,
You had better search for some infor about HTTP Protocol with Uploading
function.

that OS project may oblige
