[jira] [Commented] (NET-424) FTPSClient.isConnected() does not return false after server shutdown

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-424?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13118819#comment-13118819 ] 

Bogdan Drozdowski commented on NET-424:
---------------------------------------

This has been discussed in one of the issues in Commons-Net (I can't find it now). The problem is that the state of the Socket doesn't change when the connection is closed. It stays open even though many things could already have happened. The only way you can check if the connection is still open is to use it. You can send commands, send NOOPs or anything else and if get an exception, you know that the connection is down. You can enable keepalives, if you want, but FTPClient or FTPSClient won't do anything for you, because it could break something.

> 7. Try to send next file, all kinds of failures.
