Description

When the data channel is secured and we are using Active mode , we need to set UseClientMode to true in the FTP Client so even though the FtpServer is initiating the connection, he is the "server" in the SSL handshake.

In the current code , this is done in the method init() called by createServerSocket() in FTPSSocketFactory. But this method is never called as we create ServerSockets using a ServerSocketFactory.

The solution is to create a FTPSServerSocketFactory which takes the responsibility of creating ServerSockets.

Fix provided.
