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



FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient();

try {
    ftpClient.connect(InetAddress.getByName(SERVER));
    ftpClient.login(USERNAME, PASSWORD);
    ftpClient.changeWorkingDirectory(PATH);

    if (ftpClient.getReplyString().contains("250")) {
        ftpClient.setFileType(org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
        BufferedInputStream buffIn = null;
        buffIn = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(FULL_PATH_TO_LOCAL_FILE));
        ftpClient.enterLocalPassiveMode();
        ProgressInputStream progressInput = new ProgressInputStream(buffIn, progressHandler);

        boolean result = ftpClient.storeFile(localAsset.getFileName(), progressInput);
        buffIn.close();
        ftpClient.logout();
        ftpClient.disconnect();
    }
