Joerg Schaible commented on NET-406:
------------------------------------
??Calling interrupt on the missing thread does not do anything.??
This is not the complete truth, since it is system dependent. On Solaris a
connection is interrupted and a InterruptedIOException is thrown, while on
Windows and Linux the connection is not affected by the interrupt. Cannot say
for other OSses.
> Improved disconnect handling in FtpClient: retrieveFile never returns under
> certain conditions and calling FtpClient.disconnect does not terminate the
> transfer.

> Key: NET-406
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-406
> Project: Commons Net
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: FTP
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: Nils Martin Sande
> Labels: features
>
> During file download it is possible for the transfer to stop without any time
> out being triggered in FtpClient. The result is a "lost" thread (it never
> returns from retrieveFile). Calling interrupt on the missing thread does not
> do anything.
> When we encountered this error we fist tried to monitor the downloaded file
> and then call FtpClient.disconnect if the size on disk remained unchanged for
> a given period of time. This did not solve the problem since
> FtpClient.disconnect does not close the socket used by the transfer. Changing
> FtpClient so that it keeps track of active sockets and then closing all
> active sockets on FtpClient.disconnect solved the problem for us. Although
> this error is not very common, the ability to completely kill the connection
> including all transfers seems like a useful feature. I have included the
> details of the modifications we made, maybe someone will find them useful. If
> there is a better way to get around this please let me know.
