                return "";
            }
        });
    }
}

I got the output using simple java program with code below.But i want to do it in android actoivity:

import java.io.File;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;

import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPReply;

public class FtpTest {

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        String hostName = "MY HOST NAME";
        String username = "****";
        String password = "****";
        String location = "F:\\droid-samples\\VID-20120421-103134.3gp";
        FTPClient ftp = null;

        InputStream in = null;
        try {
            ftp = new FTPClient();
            ftp.connect(hostName);
            ftp.login(username, password);

            ftp.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);

            ftp.changeWorkingDirectory("/uploads");

            int reply = ftp.getReplyCode();
            System.out.println("Received Reply from FTP Connection:" + reply);

            if (FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(reply)) {
                System.out.println("Connected Success");
            }

            File f1 = new File(location);
            in = new FileInputStream(f1);

            ftp.storeFile("VID-20120421-103134.3gp", in);

            System.out.println("SUCCESS");

            ftp.logout();
            ftp.disconnect();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

You could try to solve the 0 bytes issue:

ftp.enterLocalPassiveMode();
