Sebb commented on NET-258:
--------------------------
Thanks!
Just for the record, I did initial testing against Apache MINA ftpserver 1.0.5
and FileZilla server 0.9.37 beta installed locally.
FileZilla allows concurrent control and data, but ftpserver does not (but then
most public ftp servers don't seem to either).
So luckily I was able to test both types quite easily during development.
I have also tried against several ASF ftp mirrors, and they seem to work.
What I have not been able to test is whether the NOOPs keep routers happy,
because my router does not seem to cause any problems - I'm not sure it has a
connection timeout feature.
If you do have access to such a router, the FTPClientExample class can be used
to test if the keepalive helps.

>
> For routers/firewalls that terminate idle connections, a separate heartbeat
> mechanism may need to be implemented to keep the control connection active.
> Some potential issues:
> * Synchronization between a heartbeat write and a __getReply() on an active
> control connection command;
> * Should use the NOOP command as a heartbeat signal;
> * Make the timeout configurable;
> * Default SocketImpl::setKeepAlive() wont do here.
