------------------------------------
Summary: Request for native support for socks proxy routing with
Commons net FTP
Key: NET-468
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-468
Project: Commons Net
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: FTP
Affects Versions: 3.1, 3.0.1, 2.0, 1.4
Environment: We use commons net in out products for all communication
to an FTP server. OS : All. No other environment specifications.
Reporter: Ramya Rajendiran
Priority: Critical
Commons net currently does not natively support connection to an FTP server via
a socks proxy. The only way of achieving this would be to work at the socket
level as observed here
http://wiki.apache.org/commons/Net/FrequentlyAskedQuestions. (by setting JVM
properties socksProxyPort and socksProxyPortHost)
However, a major side effect of this all connections on this JVM will go
through the socks proxy since this setting is at the JVM level. This is
sometimes undesirable as the business requirements are such that only certain
applications on the JVM need to go through the socks proxy. There are no
existing workarounds to conditionally prevent other applications to not be
routed through the socks proxy. This makes our application which consumes the
commons net unusable for such businesses.
Providing native support for socks proxy with commons net for FTP, will go a
long way in supporting such common scenarios and business continuity. Therefore
raising this enhancement request.
