Accessing FTP files from Scala

Question

I can't seem to find a idiomatic way to access FTP files from a Scala library. Are there any mature libraries for this in Scala, or whould the prefered way be, to use the Java libraries for instance the Apache FTP client?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There doesn't seem to be a dedicated Scala library.
The only scala project managing FTP access is Scalanet, but:

• it hasn't been updated since 2009
• it simply encapsulates the org.apache.commons.net.ftp classes from the Apache Commons Net™ library (as seen in the FTP.scala class)
