Hi Joe,
I suggest you create a bugzilla report ( http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla) concerning this, and you attach your patch there.
I am not sure however whether this problem should best be handled in the ant task or in commons-net.
I hope that Steve Cohen will see these postings.
Cheers,
Antoine

dear Ant developers,
today i tried the FTP task and I ran into the problem that my FTP server (runs on windows) resetted the connections quite frequently (i've used the most recent versions of ant and commons-net), resulting in an abort of the FTP task and build failure.
Therefore, i slightly adjusted the sourcecode of org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.FTP to re-connect to the server in case of an error, just like many of the GUI based FTP clients do (e.g. SmartFTP).
I have added an attribute "maxAttempts" to define how often the FTP task should re-connect/retry before it gives up (default value is 1, to ratain un-patched behavior).
pls. let me know if you think that this patch could be helpful and where i should send it to,
kind regards, Joe Peer
