I want to write a java program that reads a remote log file like a tail command on unix. when i run the program it connects the remote machine and read the log file like tail command. I want to read logs from log file not from the beginning of the log file, just what logs come after connecting the remote machine, only those logs read. How can i do this? Thanks.
If you do an HTTP GET to a server for a file, the whole file will be returned. If you only want to have part of the file returned, you'll need code on the server to extract the part you want and sent that back to you.
