How to get the twelve latest file in ftp server using ftp client in JAVA

794 views Asked by At

I want to read the 12 twelve latest XML files in FTP server using an FTP client but I only get the latest and the last one.

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
  FTPClient client = new FTPClient();
  try
  {
    client.connect(host);
    client.login(user, pwd);
    FTPFile[] files = client.listFiles();
    FTPFile lastFile = lastFileModified(files);
    System.out.println(lastFile.getName());
    client.disconnect();
  }
  catch (SocketException e)
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
  catch (IOException e)
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
  }

}

public static FTPFile lastFileModified(FTPFile[] files)
{
  Date lastMod = files[0].getTimestamp().getTime();
  FTPFile choice = null;
  for (FTPFile file : files)
  {
    if (file.getTimestamp().getTime().after(lastMod))
    {
      choice = file;
      lastMod = file.getTimestamp().getTime();
    }
  }
  return choice;
}

Create yourself a Comparator like 

public class ModifiedComparator implements Comparator<FTPFile> {

  public int compare(FTPFile leftFile, FTPFile rightFile) {
    return leftFile.getTimestamp().compareTo(rightFile.getTimeStamp());
  }
}

From this you have an ordered list

you can just get the last / first twelve items from your list. depending on your order you provide 

List<FTPFile> list = Arrays.asList(files);
Collections.sort(list, new ModifiedComparator());

EDIT

public class LastModifiedComparator implements Comparator<FTPFile> {

  public int compare(FTPFile leftFile, FTPFile rightFile) {
    return -leftFile.getTimestamp().compareTo(rightFile.getTimeStamp());
  }
}

List<FTPFile> list = Arrays.asList(files);
Collections.sort(list, new LastModifiedComparator());

You can use this method getLastNoOfFiles(list,12) which will return the number of files you want.

private List<FTPFile> getLastNoOfFiles(List<FTPFile> files, int noOfFilesToGet)
{
  List<FTPFile> latestFiles =  new ArrayList<FTPFile>();

   int index = 1;
  for (FTPFile file : files)
  {
    if (noOfFilesToGet < index)
    {
      break;
    }
    latestFiles.add(file);
    index ++;
  }
  return latestFiles;
}
