Niklas, All, we found an issue related to requestPassivePort() which may lead to an unresponsive V1.0.4 FTP (or FTP/S) Server, this issue can be reproduced.
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FTPSERVER-359 contains full description of the symptoms and a minimalist java client and server to reproduce it. Can anyone shed any light on this? Any help is really appreciated. Cheers, F.
