FTP Upload and Download on Android

Question

I get this error after i have set INTERNET_ACCESS and etc...

 private class AsyncUpload extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void>{       
    public void ftpUpload(){
        FTPClient con = new FTPClient();
        try
        {

            con.connect("ftp.194.90.81.149"); //here i recieve exception
                //the exception is java.unknownhostexception
                //java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "ftp.194.90.81.149": No address associated with hostname
            if (con.login("username", "password"))
            {
                con.enterLocalPassiveMode(); 
                String data = "test data";
                ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(data.getBytes());
                boolean result = con.storeFile("/test.jpg", in);
                in.close();
                if (result) Log.v("upload result", "succeeded");
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


        try
        {
            con.logout();
            con.disconnect();
        }
        catch (IOException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(String... params) {
        ftpUpload();
        return null;
    }
}

here is another part of code i have tested and still receive that exception

public class FTPFactory {

        // now check the reply code, if positive mean connection success
        if (FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(_ftpClient.getReplyCode())) {

Answer 1

 con.connect("ftp.194.90.81.149"); //here i recieve exception //the exception is java.unknownhostexception //java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "ftp.194.90.81.149": No address associated with hostname

The fact that you're receiving an UnknownHostException means that ftp.194.90.81.149 isn't a real hostname in DNS. I'd suspect that the numeric part of that is what you really want. Ie, try changing that line to

con.connect("194.90.81.149");

Answer 2

Unknown host exception means either you are missing internet permission or you are not connected to internet Or may be your ftp url is wrong.
