FTP client problems

[dankobanana]

so, I'm pretty new here so excuse if I make a mistake posting. I'm trying to program a FTP client that logs and uploads files (up to 5 simultaneously) to a FTP server. I'm encountering problems and need help.
this is still work in progress but I am encountering a problem. the client copies the contents of the file (for now I'm just trying to copy 1 file, hence the files[0]) but names it NULL (this is the problem).
here is the code:

public class FTPClient {
	
	public static void main (String[] args){
		
		int i =0;
		String userName="user";
		String passWord="pass";
		String server="127.0.0.1";
		String[] files=null;
		String delimiter = ";";
		
		while (i < args.length) {
			if (i==0 & args[i].equals("-u")) userName=args[++i]; else
			if (args[i].equals("-p")) passWord=args[++i]; else
			if (args[i].equals("-server")) server=args[++i]; else
			if (args[i].equals("-files")) files=args[++i].split(delimiter,5);
			i++;
        }
	
		
		Client f= new Client ();
		 	f.setHost(server);
		 	f.setUser(userName);
		 	f.setPassword(passWord);
		 	boolean connected=f.connect(); 
		 	f.setRemoteFile("novo/u.txt");
		 	if (connected){
		 	  if (f.uploadFile(files[0]))
		 	    // display the message of success if uploaded
		 	  System.out.println(f.getLastSuccessMessage ());
		 	  else
		 	    System.out.println(f.getLastErrorMessage ());
		 	  }
		 	  else
		 	  // Display any connection exception, if any
		 	    System.out.println(f.getLastErrorMessage ()); 
 	
		
	}
}

      }

      return true;

      return false;
    }

}

I thank you in advance for your help!

I forgot to mention I'm testing this by using FileZilla Server and "-u test -p test -server 127.0.0.1 -files /var/a.txt;/var/b.txt;/var/c.txt" console input to the program. I can verify the contents of the NULL named file by opening it with notepad and seeing its contents are the same as /var/a.txt (aka files[0] in the code)

the client copies the contents of the file (for now I'm just trying to copy 1 file, hence the files[0]) but names it NULL

Where does the client get the name that it is using to name the file?

[dankobanana]

line 26 in the first bit and line 112 in the 2nd one I guess.

(because I'm a n00b) I'm reusing and adapting this code that I found (I omitted the download part because I do not need it and added my void main)

Your line numbers don't make sense looking at the posted code.

I was asking: Where is the code that creates the file and gives it a name? Where does that code get the name from?
