Description

Using VFS with ftpServer on Mainframe Bull. I need the posibility to set the file type to Ascii. The navigation in the directory and the filesystem work properly but the accessing of a data file is not possible.

I saw that the FtpClienFactory allways set the file type to binary, is it possible to give an external parameter, ..

FtpClienFactory :

....
// Set binary mode
if (!client.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE))

{ throw new FileSystemException("vfs.provider.ftp/set-binary.error", hostname); }

...
