Calling quit() results in java.net.SocketException

Question

I'm stumped! I get java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error

when I call ftp.quit(). Yes, I am checking ftp.connected() first. "ftp" is an instance of SSLFTPClient.

The program works beautifully otherwise! Downloads, uploads, wildcards, no problem. I just can't seem to logout!

Help!

Answer 1

This can be a problem with some FTPS servers that are non-standard - the server abruptly closes the connection without sending an acknowledgement to the client. This error can be prevented by passing DISABLE_SSL_CLOSURE (in SSLFTPClient.ConfigFlags) into the SSLFTPClient constructor.

If this doesn't work, can you please post the debug log (see the Dev Guide) and the stack trace.

Answer 2

I guess I'm dealing with a non-standard server - setting DISABLE_SSL_CLOSURE solved the problem. Thanks!!

(btw, the constructor you're referring to is deprecated - I used setConfigFlags.)

Oh yes, so it is. Glad it is working for you now.
