I wonder what the list thinks about adding a dispose() method to the
org.apache.ftpserver.ftplet.FileSystemView interface either directly
or by extending org.apache.ftpserver.ftplet.Component.
In an implementation of a file system, there may be per connection
locking or something similar which needs to be cleanly removed when
the connection is dropped.
Currently I have a local modification that adds a dispose to the
FileSystemView interface, which is implemented in both
org.apache.ftpserver.filesystem.NativeFileSystemView and
org.apache.ftpserver.filesystem.OSVirtualFileSystemView as blank
methods.
Then I call the dispose method within the
org.apache.ftpserver.RequestHandler.close() method...

request.clear();
request.setObserver(null);
request.getFtpDataConnection().dispose();
+ request.getFileSystemView().dispose();
m_request = null;
}
This nicely cleans up the things I need in my FileSystemView
implementation when the client quits or is timed out.
