This is my question:

I have a large file on a remote unix box that needs to be read every 5 minutes.

Using the following code it takes over 15 minutes:

FtpClient fc;

try {

FtpClient client = new FtpClient(host2);

client.login(username, password);

client.cd(directory);

InputStream is = client.get(filename);

InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(isr);


while((strLine = in.readLine()) != null) {

pullOutTheExceptions(strLine, path);

checkForErrors(strLine, path);

}

Instead of using the BufferedReader class I need to be able to perform a seek() using the RandomAccessFile class to keep track of the position for the next time.

Can you help me!
