Description

Hi everybody, I'm Jose from Spain.

I make an implement of FTPS: using
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ufsc implementation (which use a new
class, created by UFSC, org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FtpsClient that
extends org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient), with some minor
modification to adapt Java 1.3 and solve some fix with PASV transfer
(modification and fix, that i comunicate to the author).

I try to build FtpsClient under diferent packege, then i found that
couldn't do it because, in org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTP the
variables

BufferedReader _controlInput;
BufferedWriter _controlOutput;

were declare with packege visibility, and FtpsClient use this, to
implement securety
connection to SSLSocket. Something like this:

this._controlInput = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream(), getControlEncoding()));
this._controlOutput = new BufferedWriter(new
OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), getControlEncoding()));

Because of this, FtpsClient, in UFSC, is under org.apache.commons.net.ftp.

Then the solution I adopt, was copy (and minor modify) FTPClient and
FTP from org.apache.commons.net.ftp in my own package, and extends
FtpsClient, from my own FTPClient, to make it in a difetent pakage...

And my suggestion is: It could be possible, for future version, declare
protected, for simplify the extension of api, to implement FTPS, or other future
protocol... in diferent package...?

as well, could by a setter, for this variables, to assing then the socket stream...

Thanks to all.
