> but iam not able to read it as a string values........Wrap an InputStreamReader around the InputStream and give the correct charset name. Maybe wrap a BufferedReader around the InputStreamReader for more efficiency and comfort.

I have one more problem . first i try to read the file and write the file in local directory . then i try to read the data in the remote file .. iam getting the datas as null.

InputStream ip = ftp.retrieveFileStream(path);

File f = new File("D:\\ftp.txt");

FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);

byte[] buf = new byte[1024];

while ((len = ip.read(buf)) > 0) {

fo.write(buf,0,len);

}

fo.close();

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ip));

String line;

do {

line = br.readLine();

System.out.println(" data " +line);

}while (line != null);
