File browser

[jmele11968]

Hey, my first post here, so bear with me.

I've been coding in java for awhile, and have hit the point where I am starting to code GUI's. I however for the life of me am unable to find a viable solution to makeint a file browser for a FTP client I have to create (based off a text version I already have created).

I need to create a file browser, like something inside filezilla which allows you to browse the local/remote site, I know I can do something like this with a JList, but I need to be able to display the filename/size and when it was last modified. Is there another solution which would allow me to have sort of a rows/colums type setup like a normal ftp program like filezilla ? I'm not looking for code, i'm looking for a push in the right direction as to what I should look into using that would suit my needs.

You can set a custom FileSystemView to a JFileChooser.

My issue with this is, I need to have two seperate lists (not icons) in the same window, JFileChooser wouldn't work for me.

I am trying to duplicate something like this

Where it shows all the filenames and folders, the size and when they were last modified. But I am trying to do something with colums like shown.

I honestly can't seem to figure out an option using java.

I would try using two JFileChoosers in a GridLayout(1, 2) with setControlButtonsAreShown(false).
