First, please prefix the subject line with the Commons component; in
this case [NET] as I have done in this reply.

The command corresponds with the standard FTP command CWD, which
attempts to change the remote directory.

response from the server, so no wonder the code hangs.
You need to use getReplyCode() and/or getReplyString().
Have a look at the FTPClientExample code.
