how to write a file to a different pc

abhishek92

I am doing a file upload program...
here I have my program running on tomcat server ..
when the file is to be uploaded I create a FILE object pointing to a folder on that server and upload it .. this works fine..

BUT now i have to store that file on some other server..

I have ip of that server ...

HOw can i write to another server....

the other part of problem is that my first server is linux and second is on windows 2000..

At least you have to conform to the protocol *how* that other server wants you
to upload your file.

this code is running on one server ...
now you can see in code I have created a FILE class object that points on that server itself... and then item.write(<file class object>) is used to write...

but Is there any way that I can make a FILE class object to point to a location on some remote machine.....
