Sebb commented on NET-473:
--------------------------
The Javadoc says:
Only call this method after a connection has been opened
by {@link #connect connect()}.
It's not possible to initialise the socket when creating FTPClient.
Use SocketClient.setDefaultTimeout(int timeout) instead.
> FTPClient setSoTimeout (int time) will result in NullPointerException

> Project: Commons Net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: FTP
> Reporter: Yuliya Polyeno
> Priority: Minor
>
> After creating FTPClient you are able to invoke
> org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient-> setSoTimeout () method which will
> result in NullPointerException.
> It happens because in SocketClient class Socket object is initialized with
> null. Shouldn't it be more sensible to create new socket from the
> socketFactory and don't wait for socket creation till connect() method,
> because it will be imposiible to do any configuration to the socket until
> you're connected.
