Solution 1

First, it looks like it does not require development of FTP server.

Second, "open the file in a window" is not related to FTP. Even heard of Separation of concerns?

Finally, all you need is how to use Java to act as an FTP client. But this can be found in million places. Here they are:

Solution 2

As SAKryukov points out, there is a lot of available alternatives.
The Apache FtpServer[^] is built built on top of Apache MINA[^]. This makes it quite interesting from an architectural point of view, and well worth investigating.

Again, interesting recommendation and links, my 5, but it seems to me it is not required; just client FTP code will be enough.

Thanks, Sergey - I picked out Apache FtpServer and Apache MINA because the design is of particular interest to those who want to learn about the design of client/server frameworks.
