[jira] [Commented] (NET-473) FTPClient setSoTimeout (int time) will result in NullPointerException

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-473?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13414384#comment-13414384 ] 

Sebb commented on NET-473:
--------------------------

The Javadoc says:

Only call this method after a connection has been opened
by {@link #connect connect()}.

It's not possible to initialise the socket when creating FTPClient.
Use SocketClient.setDefaultTimeout(int timeout) instead.

> After creating FTPClient you are able to invoke org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient-> setSoTimeout () method which will result in NullPointerException.
> It happens because in SocketClient class Socket object is initialized with null. Shouldn't it be more sensible to create new socket from the socketFactory and don't wait for socket creation till connect() method, because it will be imposiible to do any configuration to the socket until you're connected.
