Bernd Eckenfels commented on VFS-167:
-------------------------------------
George, well yes it should. However the proxy support for SFTP and FTP is just
a thin layer on top of the actual implementation (JSch in case of ssh and
commons.net.ftp in case of FTP). Jsch has its own classes for proxies, and
therefore can support proxy authentication. The FTPClient only support
java.net.Proxy (or a Socket factory). So while it is possible to add more
proxy functionality it is a more complex change. I only have added the proposed
minor change.
I do wonder if there is a common socket factory in commons net or somewhere
which could be used and if somebody want to take over that task. I will close
this bug, can you open a new one in regards to the proxy authentication (and
mention this comment).
