Upload Assets to FTP server

Hi all,

i've a requirement to upload assets to a remote ftp server. (AEM as a Cloud Service)

I basically added a servlet to be able to call the action from the Asset UI. Then i'm using the Job Manager to create a async job to make the call the FTP server.

My question is regarding the FTP dependency, i mean what library should use for the ftp connection. I tried with Apache Commons Net but there is not a bundle for this library.

I've embedded the jar but I've an error,

org.apache.commons.net.ftp at startup level 20 but no packages export them for that startup level.

 

 

 

Any opinion or comment is welcome.

 

Thanks in advance

I finally have a solution that works.

I've implemented a FTP client with Java IO. Then i added a new quick action button on the Asset Details action bar, so the user is able to select an asset or multiple assets and send them to the FTP server.

When the user clicks the ftp button, a new Sling job is created, the sling job uses the FTP Client to send the assets to the FTP server and at the end sends a notification to the user.

Hi @victortoledo To upload Asset into AEMaaCS programmatically, please refer to following APIs available:

aem-upload APIs are best suited in your usecase. Please check the code sample here:

      @victortoledo Alright, query appeared to be other way round. You will have to use Asset Download Service.
      To enable the service (if it is already not enabled):

      https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/assets/manage/download-assets-from-aem.html?lang=en

       

      API details:https://developer.adobe.com/experience-manager/reference-materials/6-5/javadoc/com/day/cq/dam/api/jobs/AssetDownloadService.html

      Use : 

       assetDownloadService.assetDownload
