Can anybody see what is wrong with this code. it does not show up progress-bar but uploades all the files. I did checkout sun tutorial and swingworkers also but i couldn't fix it yet.

private static boolean putFile(String m_sLocalFile, FtpClient m_client) {
    boolean success = false;
    int BUFFER_SIZE = 10240;
    if (m_sLocalFile.length() == 0) {
        System.out.println("Please enter file name");
    }
    byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
    try {
        File f = new File(m_sLocalFile);
        int size = (int) f.length();
        System.out.println("File " + m_sLocalFile + ": " + size + " bytes");
        System.out.println(size);
        FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(m_sLocalFile);
        //test
        InputStream inputStream = new BufferedInputStream(
                      new ProgressMonitorInputStream(null,"Uploading " + f.getName(),in));

        //test
        OutputStream out = m_client.put(f.getName());

        int counter = 0;
        while (true) {
            int bytes = inputStream.read(buffer);  //in
            if (bytes < 0)
                break;
            out.write(buffer, 0, bytes);
            counter += bytes;
            System.out.println(counter);
        }

        out.close();
        in.close();
        inputStream.close();
        success =true;
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        System.out.println("Error: " + ex.toString());
    }
    return true;
}

I think your code is fine.
Maybe the task isn't taking long enough for the progress bar to be needed?

Here's a modified version of your code which reads from a local file and writes to another local file.
I have also added a delay to the write so that it gives the progress bar time to kick in. This works fine on my system with a sample 12MB PDF file, and shows the progress bar.
If you have a smaller file then just increase the sleep from 5 milliseconds to 100 or something - you would need to experiment.

And I didn't even know that the ProgressMonitorInputStream class existed, so I've learnt something myself ;].
