> Key: FTPSERVER-218
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FTPSERVER-218
> Project: FtpServer
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.0-M3
> Environment: Windows XP, JRE 1.5.0_11
> Reporter: Gary Bell
> Attachments: FTPSERVER-218-TEST.patch, FTPSERVER-218.patch

> Currently, there is no method by which manual updates to a "user list"
> properties file that backs the PropertiesUserManager class can be loaded into
> a running server. You have to stop and then restart the server to see any
> changes.
> We are using FTPServer in embedded mode, and we need the site administrator
> to be able to hand-edit the file and then issue a custom function in our
> application to get the running server to reload the properties file. Prior to
> FTPServer-187, we handled this use case by creating a new instance of the
> PropertiesUserManager class using the newly-updated properties file and then
> calling server.getListener("default").setUserManager(...) .
> My suggestion is to add a refresh() method to the PropertiesUserManager class
> that will reload the properties file directly. Only new calls to
> getUserByName() would return the updated information - existing BaseUser
> instances remain unchanged.
