I am new to android and java programing. I write following code to connect to ftp server
public class NewMainActivity extends Activity {
TextView Display;
//declare a public FTP client object.
public FTPClient mFTPClient = null;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_new_main);
final TextView Display = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvResults);
try {
mFTPClient = new FTPClient();
// connecting to the host
mFTPClient.connect("www.filegenie.com",21);
// now check the reply code, if positive mean connection success
if (FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(mFTPClient.getReplyCode())) {
// login using username & password
boolean status = mFTPClient.login("user", "MyPassword");
// Set File Transfer Mode
mFTPClient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
mFTPClient.enterLocalPassiveMode();
Display.setText("Correct"+ String.valueOf(status)); //return status;
}
}catch(Exception e) {
Display.setText(" Exception message is = "+e.getMessage()+" Reply code = "+mFTPClient.getReplyCode());
}
}
When I run this code I get no specific error but the program didn't execute mFTPClient.connect method and jumps to the 'Exception' part and I get "null" as exception getMessage and "0" as ReplyCode.
I have import all the required files such as
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPReply;
I am using eclipse and ADT Build v22.0.1-685705.
I have also included commons-net-3.3, commons-net-3.3-sources and commons-net-examples-3.3 files in the android project's lib, and also included the java files and folders from
commons-net-3.3-src | src | main | java | org | apache | commons | net folder to the Android project's src folder by creating the folders org | apache | commons | net.
I could not figured out what is the problem.
Can any one help me in this regard.
The same server can be accessed with a comercial ftp client.
Thanks in advance.

I've tried your code and it works ok. Based on the response code you're getting I assume the connection to the server has not been even established. Make sure you have granted your app with INTERNET permission in the manifest file:
EDIT: From the exception stack trace it's clear, that you're trying to execute this code from a main thread. In Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) or later you're not permitted to execute any network call in UI thread by default. The reason is simple: network call may block for an indefinite amount of time, effectively freezing application UI.
You have two options how to fix it:
Lazy way - Disable therad check for network calls:
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
.permitAll()
.build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
You can always enable thread checks again using
StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
.detectAll()
.penaltyLog()
.penaltyDeath()
.build();
StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
Proper way - execute FTP calls from a background worker thread using AsyncTask. Take a look here for examples and comprehensive explanation about AsyncTasks.
