Rory:
How about adding a method called:
forceConnectedHostForPassiveConnections(boolean)
If someone sets the boolean to true, the code will
use the host specified in the connect call instead
of the passive host given by the server.
This looks clean to me and will require very little
code changes.
If you like it, I am willing to contibute it as a
patch.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Neil

Neil
I just read your previous email. If you do have an idea in regards to an
elegant solution to the problem, feel free to create a JIRA issue and
patch and I will review. But I really would only consider putting
something in if a) it's elegant and clean and (b) if commons-net is
really the odd one out amongst FTP clients, and is the only one that
cant handle this. But as stated before, this really does seem to be a
server config issue.
Thanks
Rory
