Cannot change the values for the FTPSCommand entries now, as that's not 
backwards compatible, though that would have been a possible "solution" 
originally.

Deprecating FTPSCommand is probably a good idea, because commands shouldn't be 
spread among many files. But before the file gets removed, how about increasing 
the integer constants somewhere over the number of commands in FTPCOmmand? Like 
AUTH=100, ADAT=101 and so on. This would no more make conflicts. Then change 
the command array in FTPSCommand to have the right number of null entries 
before the right commands (static initializer block). And if the index given to 
getCommand() is too low, FTPSCommand could even delegate the call to FTPCommand.

You're right about sendCommand() not being able to distinguish what to use, but 
the new indices in FTPSCommand would fix this. Yes, if had been an enum from 
the beginning, there wouldn't be problems like this, because the sendCommand() 
methods would have different signatures. But still either the commands would be 
spread among 2 files or all would be in FTPCommand and the plain FTPClient 
would now have to accept FTP-only commands and FTPSClient - FTPS commands (and 
delegate the rest to FTPClient).

Now that we have execXXX() methods, FTPSCommand is unused.

Just parsing the PBSZ reply is still a good idea - the user can call 
setSendBufferSize()/setReceiveBufferSize() if this is the right thing to do.

Although isProtectedReplyCode() is FTPS-specific, it's a good idea that it's 
now in FTPReply - everything in one place.

I keep command names public, so the users can send them manually, if they want 
(like when they think Base64 or something else is buggy), but otherwise there 
are no other reasons to do this.

No other issues right now. If I find something about PBSZ that would be worth 
implementing separately, I'll let you know.

Thanks again!

Cannot remove FTPSCommand without breaking binary compat. and I don't want to 
do that.

I've just realised that overriding sendCommand(int) and sendCommand(int, 
String) cannot be made to work properly, as it cannot distinguish between int 
values from FTPCommand and int values from FTPSCommand. For the values that 
overlap, there's no way to know what the caller intended. I suppose the method 
could reject all duplicate values, but that might break existing code (which 
uses the FTPCommand strings). [Had enums been used, this would not have been an 
issue]

Good suggestion re sendFTPSCommand(); that would solve the problem of 
differentiating the different int ranges. 
However I think it might make the API more confusing, so I think deprecation is 
better. If FTPSClient provides exec() methods for all the FTPS commands there 
is then no need to use the integers (and anyway, FTPSCommand.getCommand() can 
be used to convert the int to String)

I've no idea about PBSZ either, beyond extracting the minimum value for use by 
client code. Could start with that.
