Hi,
Thank you very much for replying. You are absolutely
right. I shall add one data connection configuration
parameter to set the server socket timeout. Basically
I shall set the SO_TIMEOUT.
FtpDataConnection is not shared in multiple
connections. Each ftp session has a FtpDataConnection
instance. So other client can open data connection
when server is waiting for one client.
These are synchronized because, the FTP session
cleaner removes idle connections at specified interval
and this timer thread can mess-up if these methods are
not synchronized.
Thanks,
Rana Bhattacharyya
