Hopefully the last question on this FTP client.
I see that the component supports MODE S and MODE Z. Is there any way it
can, or will in the future, support MODE B (Block)?

Thank you once again for your help. You are indeed correct. A search
on the Internet suggests the timeout could be between 30 and 120 seconds.
When I have finished all my testing, I show you what I have modified
in the SslFtpClient. Just a simple change to the processing of the
FEAT response regarding PROT. Some servers just return PROT and the
current detection of PROT P will always fail.

I have set Active Mode and the Data Port Range to 10000..10010
I connect to the Demo Server and click on the "Get" button.
I have a breakpoint where the Data Port number is allocated so I
can see it increment through the above range.
When it gets to 10010 it loops back to 10000.
The next click on the "Get" button fails with the error that this
port (10000) is in use.
This is standard windows behaviour, established ports do not close
instantly you close a connection, they go into time_wait state for
about 60 seconds in case packets are still floating around.
So you probably clicked past your range of 10 in one minute or so.
Just make the range 100 or 1,000.
Finding some users ports (1,024 up) in use is inevitable because so
many applications use them for internal purposes, so you need to always
retry failed connection, repeatedly. Also better to choose an obscure
range that others are less likely to be using than around 10,000.
Which is exactly why many people use my TMagFtp component, all this
stuff is long known and handled.
