Please note that MINA does not use the standard Socket/ServerSocket classes but rather the NIO SocketChannel/ServerSocketChannel classes. They enable async IO rather than the blocking IO used in Socket. Now, FtpServer only uses MINA for the control socket at the moment, so you're still correct. For data transfers, we still use regular Socket/ServerSocket. > So the actual streaming of bytes and reception of the bytes for a > transferred file is not handled directly in the classes of the FTPServer > jars, but rather in lower level classes from the Mina jars, and the Java > Standard library. As above, we do not actually use MINA for data transfers. /niklas
