Description

Add a new method to the FtpSession to return a unique session ID of a particular FTP session. It is important that these generated session IDs are unique for the entire life of an FTP server installation, i.e., a given install of the FTP server should never generate a duplicate session ID. If we want to think one more step ahead, it may not be a bad idea to even use UUIDs if we plan on running the server clusters for load balancing and fail over.
