how to download back the files that are uploaded to the server back to my system

Use an HTTP GET to have the server send them to you.
How are the files you want to download any different from any other file that you can download from a server. Wouldn't you use the normal method of downloading the files?

Hey thanks for the speedy reply!
I'm actually new to this, and I'm not that familliar with GET, which isit REST ? So I was wondering whether you could help me how to get along with this ? thanks =)

Need some info on what you are trying to do. You can use a browser to get the files.
The HTTP I referred to is one of the protocols used between browsers and servers. Java programs also have classes that use this protocol. The GET command/request is used to retrieve files. All this is buried in the java classes.
If you do a search here for HTTPConnection and Socket you'll get sample programs that get files from servers.

you can try to use a upload and download component which is called jspSmartUpload,
first,you should download the jar file ,then add it into you project,so that you can use the Class Libaray of the jar which can implement the upload and download work.
hope I can help you

I am doing a Java application, where you can upload image file to Apache Tomcat Server. But I do not know where is the image file stored after uploading to the server. Therefore, I am having problem locating the uploaded file, as I need to retrieve the file from the server. :confused:

Did you write the code for uploading the files to the server?
If you did then you would know where they were uploaded to. Otherwise you need to explain how you are doing the upload to the server.
For downloading the file, just google "file servlet" and that should lead you to BalusC's file servlet page.

Just System.out.println() your servlet to find this out ;)
Watch the servlet java.io.*; classes to find the output stream is going to
