How do I create a robust FTP connection using commons-net

Question

We've had a lots of issues where our ftp connection hangs indefinitely, causing the program to hang.

How do I configure FTPClient to not do this?

Answer 1

Here's what I'm thinking so far.

FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient();
ftpClient.setDataTimeout(timeout);
ftpClient.setConnectTimeout(timeout); // otherwise the connect call might hang
ftpClient.connect(this.serverAddr);
