Mario Ivankovits commented on VFS-178:
--------------------------------------

Sorry for being so busy lately with other things ....

This patch is just for vfs.passive and just for ftp, but we need a more general 
solution for this by using the 
DelegatingFileSystemOptionsBuilder.setConfigString() method.
Done right it will immediately allow to set any configuration exposed through 
the various FileSystemOptionBuilders ... and any future addition too - as long 
as it is possible to create the required value-type out of a simple string.

> Yes, for sure, this could make it too - I thought about it too. Even if

> I'd commit it if someone contributes a patch.
