Java has built-in support for ftp protocol and URLs. For example:
URL url = new URL("ftp://ftp.someserver.com/bla");
// ....
See the javadoc of class java.net.URL for more info how to proceed.

I've never used the URL class for any FTP access (as the other poster
suggests), but I have enjoyed using the Apache Commons Net library in the
past. It's easy to use, and has many more features than any URL class will
have....
