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
