It is good only for basic operation.There is lot of debate going on this in OpenJDK7 project...Not sure what is the current state of this issue, "seems still in discussion stage", so it is recommended to use Jakarta Commons Net until Sun finalize something clealy on FTP..

We can use the InputStream and OutputStream available to upload and download the file content. the URL would also need to include the username and password eg. ftp://username:password@somehost/path/file - Pravin Jain Thu, 31 Dec 2009 16:06:17 +0100
