FTP Client

[kakinyim]

I am trying to make a connection to FTP server through java code

import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPReply;

public class FTPClass {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
FTPClient ftp = new FTPClient();
ftp.connect("ftp://41.215.1.22/store");
ftp.login("", "");
int reply = ftp.getReplyCode();
if (FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(reply)) {
System.out.println("Connected Success");
} else {
System.out.println("Connection Failed");
ftp.disconnect();
}
}

but i keep getting the error below: Exception in thread "main" java.net.UnknownHostException: ftp://41.215.1.22/store/

Is it to do with the use of IP instead of a server name? What is way out if I still want to use the IP address?

Please someone help me.

How do you know that the IP address is a valid address?
Does it work in other programs?

Is the FTPServer installed correctly ? have you checked to connect it manually (not from Java code) using any of the software .. As far as I know only the IP address is enough in the connect method .. if it has authentication required then after connect we call the login method.
