FTP Connect not timing out

Question

Im trying to set a timeout on an FTP Connect using com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.FTPClient but for some reason can't get it to work.

This is my code:

public boolean testFtpDetails(String path) {
    boolean success = false;
    try {
        FTPClient ftp = new FTPClient();
        ftp.setRemoteHost("210.160.1.100");
        ftp.setTimeout(3000);
        ftp.connect();

        ftp.login("test", "test");

        success = ftp.connected();

        if (success && path != null) {
            ftp.chdir(path);
        }

        ftp.quit();

    } catch (UnknownHostException e) {            
    } catch (IOException e) {            
    } catch (FTPException e) {
}

So after 3 seconds of trying to execute

ftp.connect()

I would expect it to timeout. However this does not happen and it takes around 15 seconds to timeout. Is there a way to change this?

Thanks,

Sorry for the delayed reply ... did you get anywhere with this? What version of Java?
