FTP reconnection

Question

Hello all,

First of all, congratulations for this FTP lib distribution !

I had a look to the source code and in my opinion the FTPClient is more a "session" than a "client".

Let me explain my point of view:
My first idea was to create an object that extends the FTPClient, in order to provide all methods from edt + mine.
Unfortunately I can't provide a method like "reconnect", that would allow to reconnect using the same FTP profile.
The reason is that the FTPControlSocket is intialized in the FTPClient constructor.

I don't understand this choice.
Why is there no public method to reopen the socket, using the same FTP profile (without the need to recreate a FTPClient) ?

Cheers,
Nico.

Excellent suggestion - we'll look at doing this for the next release, 1.5.1

Hmm, I think we already have this! Have you tried using the connect() method?

Hi,

I was using 1.4.6 version and only a "login" method was available.

So it's time for me to migrate to 1.5 :)

Thanks !
