I have this FTP GUI which suppose to connect to an FTP site and return the status. If it's connected it shows the connection prompt.
I got the JTextArea to show the message when the FTP connection is established, but when it's not connected to the ftp site such as my 4th ftp site which is notes5.bna.com it freezes the program. Also a small problem is if you have the program FTP to a site like this "shlfsdklaflkhasdlhfas". It returns the ftp site is not found only after the JOptionPane shows that FTP is connected. I am not sure what's wrong with it.
