I have added commons-logging-1.1.1.jar full path in environment variable. Any suggestions pls.

Answer 1

you should not add it in environment variable, instead of that you can add that path in the command line itself. give the directory path in the command like this. * means it will take all the jars in the given path

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\jre\bin>java -cp .;<path>\*;  -Demail-conf-path=d:\config -jar ftpcourier.jar -d RCVE -h test.hostname.com -u smandal -w Password# -f /TIFR/report.xls -t d:\Local -s true -p 22 -x true
