1) Download commons-net-2.0-src files

Download the source files commons-net-2.0-src.zip or commons-net-2.0-src.tar.gz from http://commons.apache.org/net/download_net.cgi. I tried with the binaries version containing only the jar files. But when i add the jar files to my Android project, I got the error: "Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1".


2) Extract and copy Ftp and dependent source files to Android project

Extract the compressed source files. The files will be extracted to commons-net-2.0-src folder. Go to commons-net-2.0-src | src | main | java | org | apache | commons | net folder. Copy all .java files in the net folder and the subfolders ftp, io, util. Am copying only files required for Ftp to work. If need other network protocols then copy the corresponding subfolders also.

In Android project's src folder, create the folders org | apache | commons | net and paste the files and subfolders copied above in the newly created net folder.
