Error while listing FTP file

Question

Good evening guys, I’m trying to make a simple program that lists the files of an FTP directory, and error is occurring.

package br.com.java;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.SocketException;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient;
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPReply;

public class FTPConnect {

public static void main(String[] args) throws SocketException, IOException{
    // TODO code application logic here
    FTPClient ftp = new FTPClient();
    ftp.connect("ftp.endereco.com.br");
    ftp.login("usuario","senha");
    if(FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(ftp.getReplyCode()) ){
        System.out.println("Conectado!!");
        ftp.enterLocalActiveMode();
    }

    ftp.changeWorkingDirectory("/pasta/subpasta");
    System.out.println(ftp.getReplyString());
    System.out.println("porta: " + ftp.getDefaultPort());

    try {
        String[] arq = ftp.listNames();
        System.out.println("Listando arquivos \n");
        for (String f : arq){
            System.out.println(f);
        }
        ftp.logout();
        ftp.disconnect();
    } catch (NullPointerException e) {
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    }catch (SocketException es){
        System.out.println(es.getMessage());
    }
}

 }

The output result is:

run:
Conectado!!
250 CWD command successful

porta: 21
Listando arquivos 

null
CONSTRUÍDO COM SUCESSO (tempo total: 0 segundos)

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

The problem does not appear to be Java, but rather the user’s permission on the server, User may not have access to list, check online on https://pt.infobyip.com/ftptest.php |If you have access to the server and it is Linux, run sudo chmod 777 /home/user/pasta_ftp
another detail is the firewall configuration port 20 (data).
