IODataConnection.getDataInputStream()

[Charles Karow]

I have written a  special-purpose, upload-only server by writing my own 
implementation of the STOR command, and I need access to the input 
stream of the data connection so I can process the incoming file. I 
prefer not to complete an implementation of my own file system -- for 
what I am doing, that would be much too complex and is not needed.

I have done this successfully with an early version of ftpserver by 
modifying the source code, but I would rather be able to use the 
published binaries as this would make it much easier to stay current 
with new releases.

IODataConnection.getDataInputStream() is currently private. I was 
wondering whether there would be any possibility of making it public. 
Would there be any adverse consequences?

Thanks!
