I tried to create an account to ask question. But after registeration, the account does not work. So I have to send you the mail directly.

We have a very old java FTP upload component which using a very old version of edtFTPj library. Probably v1.3. This version of edtFTPj supports the transfer type EBCDIC. Please refer to the class com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.FTPTransferType.

Decompile the *.class file:

---

package com.enterprisedt.net.ftp;

public class FTPTransferType
{
  private static String cvsId = "$Id: FTPTransferType.java,v 1.3 2001/10/09 20:54:08 bruceb Exp $";
  public static FTPTransferType ASCII = new FTPTransferType();
  public static FTPTransferType BINARY = new FTPTransferType();
  public static FTPTransferType EBCDIC = new FTPTransferType();
  public static FTPTransferType STRUCTRECORD = new FTPTransferType();
  public static FTPTransferType NOSTRUC = new FTPTransferType();
  static String ASCII_CHAR = "A";
  static String BINARY_CHAR = "I";
  static String EBCDIC_CHAR = "E";
  static String STRUCTRECORD_CHAR = "R";
}
---

Now we are trying to refacoring our component, but the latest edtFTPj does not support EDBDIC. I find a potential solution in the FAQ: http://enterprisedt.com/questions/index.php/211/encoding-problem-probably-with-ebcdic?show=211#q211

Could you please advise:

1. When the EBCDIC was not supported? If possiable, could you advise the reason that it was not supported any more?

2. Does the link I found could be considered as the solution to upload file with EBCDIC? If not, could you advise?

EBCDIC has never been supported. The author of your upload component has probably modified the source to add support for it.
