FTPSClient returns MalformedServerReplyException: cannot parse response code
apache-commons, ftps, java
Solution
Since you are connecting to an SSH server using FTP client. FTPS and SFTP are two different protocols.
Both WinSCP and Filezilla works fine because they supports SFTP.
Problem
I have an SFTP connection set up. I used WinCSP and Filezilla and the test server is working no problem. The java code is from the `apache commons-net 2.0` and it gives me the unexpected error Code ``` private String ftpServer="XXX.xx.x.XX"; private int ftpPort=99; private String ftpUserName="myUserName"; private String ftpPassword="myPassword"; FTPSClient ftp = null; try{ ftp = new FTPSClient(); ftp.connect(hostname, port) } catch (Exception e){ Logger.debug(e) } ``` Stacktrace ``` Server reply:SSH-2.0-WeOnlyDo-wodFTPD 2.3.6.165 org.apache.commons.net.MalformedServerReplyException: Could not parse response code. at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP.__getReply(FTP.java:315) at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP._connectAction_(FTP.java:364) at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient._connectAction_(FTPClient.java:540) at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPSClient._connectAction_(FTPSClient.java:167) at org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient.connect(SocketClient.java:178) at myHomeFtpService.getFtpConnection(HomeFtpService.java:40) ```
