    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-216?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12620847#action_12620847 ] 

Alex Marshall commented on VFS-216:
-----------------------------------

Unfortunately I have to deal with some exceedingly crappy FTP servers at work which my projects have to communicate with, and this feature would be exceedingly useful.  Right now, some of my background tasks are getting hung up transferring files and I could really use this.  Please integrate it as soon as possible, it'd be much appreciated.

> The FTP Configuration includes an option to set a timeout for the data connection, but not for the socket timeout. This is a problem, as idle sockets can cause your download to hang forever and never timeout.
