Hi Jignesh

Unfortunately its not possible at present to do this - recursive operations are not a mandated feature in the FTP specs. 

You could do a recursive listing and filter the results for the filename you are looking for, either by recursively searching all files with a 'directory' type, or by using the recursive listing feature added in 2.0 (if the server supports it).

> Hello,
> I am using commons-net-2.0. After successful login on FTP server, is it possible to find any file by providing file name? One thing is sure - This file is not present directly under working directory.
> For example, the working directory on FTP server is "uw/abc". The file (hello.txt) path is "uw/abc/unknown_folder/hello.txt". Here I know the file name itself but do not know under which folder it is residing.
> Is there any method available under any class?
> Any help would be appreciated.
> Thank you
> Jignesh
