Description

The fix from VFS-216 doesn't help if the ftp server doesn't reply with any messages at all (could happen if it's behind a badly configured firewall for example). What happens is that the client.connect() called from FtpClientFactory hangs, and this line is before timeout parameter is set.

I suggest the change in the attached patch.

The scenario can be tested with "netcat -l" instead of a real ftp server.
