    Default what is the right class to write into text file in a specific line (the end of the text file) ?

    im asking because my code do override.
    i tried use write/append i know there BufferedWriter maybe with this ?
    even thought maybe do reader to check if the line empty and after that do write (but i dont know how change lines in write so....).

    before answer check the mac and macEnter variables. the mac Enter its the mac with "/"n ( ithink maybe its will help for the override but its not )

    String banlist = "ftp://username:pass@host/ss/banlist.txt", mac = null, command = scanner.nextLine(), macEnter = null, line = null;
    				boolean targetIsAdmin = false, targetInBan = false; 
     
    				while(!command.equals("!exit")) {
     
    					if(command.equals("!ban")) {
    						System.out.println("type the target mac");
    						mac = scanner.nextLine();
    						targetIsAdmin = searchTxtFTP(adminlist, mac);
    						targetInBan = searchTxtFTP(banlist, mac);
    						if(!targetIsAdmin && !targetInBan) {
    							try {
     
    								URL url = new URL(banlist);
    								URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
    								OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(con.getOutputStream());
    							    out.write(macEnter);
    								out.close();
    								System.out.println("NOTICE: you have added the client to the banlist");
    							} catch(Exception e) {
    								e.printStackTrace();
    							}
    						} else if(targetIsAdmin && !targetInBan) System.out.println("EROR: you can't give ban to admin!");
    						else System.out.println("EROR: the target:" + " " + serial + "is already on ban list");
    					}
     
    					System.out.println("commands:");
    					System.out.println("!ban, !exit");
    					command = scanner.nextLine();
    				}
     
    				scanner.close();
    				System.exit(1);
     
    		} catch(Exception e) {
    			e.printStackTrace();
    		}
     
    	}
     
    	public static boolean searchTxtFTP(String userPassHostDirectoryTxtfile, String stringTxt) {
     
    		boolean found = false;
    		String line = null;
     
    		try {
     
    			URL url = new URL(userPassHostDirectoryTxtfile);
    			URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
    			BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
     
    			while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
     
    				if(line.contains(stringTxt)) {
    					found = true;
    					break;
    				}
     
    			}
     
    			in.close();
    		} catch(Exception e) {
    			e.printStackTrace();
    		}
    		return found;
     
    	}

    Some of the output classes have a special boolean parameter in their constructor for appending to a file.

    I don't know which one it is. You have to Look at the API doc for the output files:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/index.html

    Yes, that looks like the constructor that can be used when you want to append to a file instead of rewriting it.

    This has nothing to do with FTP commands. This is for local files.

    I don't know much about FTP.
    thank for helping so far.
    i have question about exec (probably simple one):
    Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
    					try {
    						runtime.exec("C:/Program Files (x86)/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.exe");
    						System.out.println("Dear Admin: we have opened another window for you for admin commands");
    					} catch(Exception e) {
    						e.printStackTrace();
    					}

    when i put software (that im not write) its work and call the program.
    but, if i try on somthing that i write (on java) it dosent, why ?
    runtime.exec("C:/Program Files (x86)/qBittorrent/a.exe"); 
    //a.exe its jar converted by Launch4j (work if i click the program 100%).

    Please post the complete code that can be compiled and executed for testing.

    Make sure your code reads and prints the streams returned by the process - normal and error.

    The Runtime exec method returns a Process object that has streams the show the normal and error output from the process.
    You need to get references to those streams to read from and print out what they contain so you can see if there are any errors.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    like that ?
    Process process = runtime.exec("C:/a.exe");
    System.out.println(process);

    if yes its return:
    java.lang.ProcessImpl@1b6d3586

    --- Update ---

    i also now check in the task mangaer i saw a.exe its work when i run the program, but i cant see its opened why ?

    That is not what I was talking about.
    Read the API doc for the Process class to find what methods to call to get the streams that the process writes to. Your code must read and print what those streams contain so you can see if there were any errors.

    i did this code, i saw after i run it, its start the main program (like like he should) when eh get to this code her.
    in task manager a.exe work, and the console of the main program print 2 lines from a.exe (lol thats not opended in another window its stack also the main program because of that).

    i think maybe 2 things:
    1. exec needed a swing program not console on.
    or and
    2. needed do thread stuff.

    you have another idea ? i will try now to do the thread stuff first and update.

    Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
    					try {
     
    						String line = null;
    						Process process = runtime.exec("C:/a.exe");
    						BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
     
    						while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) System.out.println(line);
     
    						in.close();
    						System.out.println("Dear Admin: we have opened another window for you for admin commands");
     
    					} catch(Exception e) {
    						e.printStackTrace();
    					}


    --- Update ---

    the Thread stuff do more mess of mixing.

    i will try now simple swing

    --- Update ---

    Norm: i check now with simple swing program and now its work.
    if i do console its blend with the main program console.
    so for now its will work probably :1. new Thread + 2. swing
    maybe i will try do exec to cmd (and with cmd commands open the second program).
    i will update

    --- Update ---

    ok after i tried i thnk its needed to be swing program (its work even without Thread, but without thread in main program wait until the program load.
    there way to do with un swing code ?

    when i do the program without swing, its mixed the main program and the program that called from exec together.
    i try to do simple swing (jbutton) just for trying and main program and the program that called from exec separately as they should be.

    so im asking if you know way to avoid swing ? (i dont know swing) that main program and the program that called from exec separately.
    if you dont know away i let the client to do manually click (for open th another program)

    way to avoid swing ?
    Do you mean a GUI when you say swing?
    Are you trying to write a program that reads/writes in a command prompt instead of using a GUI?

    For a java program to use a command prompt, the user must open the command prompt first and then execute the java program there.

    yes i meant i never used GUI (haha i learn java a week or 2 ago, dont really care about this GUI) i just write a code and when im done i use blue4j to convert to exe (from jar).

    but i try exec to java GUI program and its open, when the program not usu GUI (even its exe) java mix the main program and the program from exec (that not using GUI in exe).

    If the java program uses GUI then it will open a window for input however it is executed allowing user interaction.
    If the java program only uses the console, then the user must open a comand prompt window to enter data into the program and see what it prints out.
    On Windows, using a batch file (.bat) to execute the java program will open a command prompt window allowing user interaction.

    Another option would be to use the JOPtionPane class. I will present a small window and get input without a swing GUI.

    ok

    about my original question how add text in remote text on FTP:
    after struggles its work now, maybe its will help others(i learn simple regex for this hh)
    and read beforce i write (for saving manually the old text, append fuction not working well i try so so many... so its do it yourself kind a thing):
    URL urlR = new URL(banlist);
                        URLConnection conR = urlR.openConnection();
                        BufferedReader inR = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conR.getInputStream()));
     
                        String copyBanList = ""; //empty string
     
     
                        while ( (line = inR.readLine()) != null ) copyBanList += "\n" +  line.trim(); //after read line(with trim), do new line
     
                        inR.close();
     
                        if(!targetIsAdmin && !targetInBan) {
                            URL urlW = new URL(banlist);
                            URLConnection conW = urlW.openConnection();
                            BufferedWriter outW = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(conW.getOutputStream()));    
     
                            //add into copyBanList new line if i'ts not the first one
                            outW.write((copyBanList + "\n" +  mac.replaceAll("\n+", "\n")).replaceAll("^\n+", "")); 
                            outW.flush();
                            outW.close();
                            System.out.println("NOTICE: you have added the client" + " " + mac + " " +  "to the banlist");
                        } else if(targetIsAdmin && !targetInBan) System.out.println("EROR: you can't give ban to admin!");
                        else System.out.println("EROR: the target:" + " " + mac + " " +  "is already on ban list");
