Android : no such file name or directory

I'm writing an app for android which has to download a file from an FTP-server . It seems that I can read the file from the FTP-server without any problem , but when I try to open it , the app throws the following error : no such file name or directory .

The code : 

FTPClient ftp = new FTPClient  ;  // The ftpclient of apache commons
// all the code for connecting to the server 

FileOutputStream fOut  = openFileOutput("ipfile.text" , Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE) ; 
    ftp.retrieveFile("ip.text" , fOut) ; 



    Log.v("As" , "Read file with succes from drivehq") ;

    String helpStr = "ERROR" ; 
    byte[] inputBuffer = new byte [1024] ; 

     try{
         FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("/data/data/ipfile.text") ;
         fis.read(inputBuffer) ;
         fis.close() ; 
         helpStr = new String (inputBuffer) ; 
         Log.v("As" , "Read file from " + helpStr) ; 



     }
     catch(Exception e) {
         Log.v("As" ," Unable to read the ip-file " + e.getMessage()) ;  
     }

The Logcat : 

 02-28 21:31:38.741: V/As(3992): Logged on with success to drivehq
02-28 21:31:38.911: V/As(3992): Changed working directory on drivehq
02-28 21:31:39.972: V/As(3992): Read file with succes from drivehq
02-28 21:31:39.972: V/As(3992):  Unable to read the ip-file  ipfile.text (No such file or directory)

Thanks , Tom

Try closing your FileOutputStream "fOut"

Likely that stream has locked the file causing you to not be able to read the file despite it being created. 

FileOutputStream fOut  = openFileOutput("ipfile.text" , Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE) ; 
ftp.retrieveFile("ip.text" , fOut) ; 
fOut.flush();
fOut.close();

Additionally, you should be opening your file in a similar fashion you opened the output file using 

FileInputStream fis = openFileOutput("ipfile.text");

This may actually be the reason your read isn't working rather than the reason above.
