Hi,

A customer is reporting slow Ftp upload in Java 7, versus Java 6.

<<

In our application, we are using URL.openConnection() to open the FTP connection. We would like to know if there is a way to open the buffer Size as mentioned in the URL below or could we do something else to make the ��� java FTP��� file transfer faster ?

>>

The last version tested that does not worked is 7u15. The version
that is working is 6u33.
Solaris 10

No testcase, but here is the snippet:

 URL lUrl = new URL(aInContextURL, aInFtpUrl);
lUrl.openConnection().getOutputStream();

Seeking advice, pointers, further debugging tips.


Thank you,

The ftp URL isn't included in the bug report but I'll bet it image/binary mode. For that case the updated ftp client returns the raw output stream whereas it used to return a TelnetOutputStream (which is buffered). This should fix it: iff -r b4f68aca1000 -r c534937f6e94 src/share/classes/sun/net/ftp/impl/FtpClient.java --- a/src/share/classes/sun/net/ftp/impl/FtpClient.java Tue Apr 02 16:26:54 2013 -0700 +++ b/src/share/classes/sun/net/ftp/impl/FtpClient.java Wed Apr 03 13:15:39 2013 +0100 @@ -1299,16 +1299,16 @@ * <code>null</code> if the command was unsuccessful. * @throws IOException if an error occured during the transmission. */ - public OutputStream putFileStream(String name, boolean unique) throws sun.net.ftp.FtpProtocolException, IOException { + public OutputStream putFileStream(String name, boolean unique) + throws sun.net.ftp.FtpProtocolException, IOException + { String cmd = unique ?
