Hi Christian,

well, this at least explains why I was so sure there is such a module... I remember seeing this :) But yeah, if you could open source it and forward it, it sure would be helpful (and no, no open I am also happy to update it if there is something to be done (although I doubt it; I mean it is not like FTP has changed in the last years or decade).

Cheers Dirk

Hi Dirk,

there is an FTP module in our internal basex-modules repository. If you don't have access to this repo, I could try to forward it to the list (it hasn't been updated for a while now, though)...

Cheers, Christian

Hi list,

I would like to access a file lopcated on a remote FTP server. But to my surprise I couldn't find anything or anyone trying to do this before. Basically I would like something similar to fetch:text(), but using ftp instead of HTTP. Is there any simple way to do this using XQuery or some library around? I can't really imagine I am the first one to try this...?

Of course I am aware I can write my own library based on Apache commons fairly easy, but I thought I would ask first.

Cheers

Dirk
