enterLocalPassiveMode is set back to Active on connect
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: NET-291
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-291
             Project: Commons Net
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0
            Reporter: Kevin Brown





enterLocalPassiveMode (exhibit A) docs claim that mode will be set to 
PASSIVE_LOCAL_DATA_CONNECTION_MODE "some other method such as" 
enterLocalActiveMode is called  (exhibit B).  However, active mode is being 
entered after connect is called.   This behavior can be easily observed by 
modifying FtpExample by moving ftp.enterLocalPassiveMode()  to before 
ftp.connect(server).   

Perhaps either the code or docs could be updated to remedy this.  Versions 
prior to 2.0 behaved as documented.
 
exhibit A:
   /***
     * Set the current data connection mode to
     * <code> PASSIVE_LOCAL_DATA_CONNECTION_MODE </code>.  Use this
     * method only for data transfers between the client and server.
     * This method causes a PASV command to be issued to the server
     * before the opening of every data connection, telling the server to
     * open a data port to which the client will connect to conduct
     * data transfers.  The FTPClient will stay in
     * <code> PASSIVE_LOCAL_DATA_CONNECTION_MODE </code> until the
     * mode is changed by calling some other method such as
     * {...@link #enterLocalActiveMode  enterLocalActiveMode() }
     ***/
    public void enterLocalPassiveMode()
    {
        __dataConnectionMode = PASSIVE_LOCAL_DATA_CONNECTION_MODE;
        // These will be set when just before a data connection is opened
        // in _openDataConnection_()
        __passiveHost = null;
        __passivePort = -1;
    }

exhibit B

    @Override
    protected void _connectAction_() throws IOException
    {
        super._connectAction_();
        __initDefaults();
    }
