How to get latest file via ftp?

Question

FTP

Task: Select the latest file from the FTP server and send it by email;
The question is how can this be implemented/designed?

I have implemented functionality in java(Spring):
1. Connect to the server and get the file (without sorting, but simply by specifying the path -> file name)
2. Sending email

Ps I will be glad if you share any links on this topic.

PS As an option, you can try get a list of files and the last modified date of each one. Then for each LocalDateTime using the isAfter() isBefore() methods to find the last entry.
