A Method to Implement FTP Client's Function Based on Java in IPv6 Environment

Nowadays,the development of the network applications based on the next generation network is in its early period,most current FTP client systems and FTP client libraries which are often used to develop FTP client programs do not support IPv6.Through studying the FTP extensions for IPv6 and analyzing the details on IPv6 support in Java,a method that implements FTP client's main functions based on Java in IPv6 environment is proposed in this paper.A test is also performed by using Sniffer tool to see whether the FTP client application implemented by using this method supports IPv6,its result shows that IPv6 is well supported in this FTP client application.
