> Currently, there is no method by which manual updates to a "user list" properties file that backs the PropertiesUserManager class can be loaded into a running server. You have to stop and then restart the server to see any changes. 
> We are using FTPServer in embedded mode, and we need the site administrator to be able to hand-edit the file and then issue a custom function in our application to get the running server to reload the properties file. Prior to FTPServer-187, we handled this use case by creating a new instance of the PropertiesUserManager class using the newly-updated properties file and then calling server.getListener("default").setUserManager(...) .
> My suggestion is to add a refresh() method to the PropertiesUserManager class that will reload the properties file directly. Only new calls to getUserByName()  would return the updated information - existing BaseUser instances remain unchanged.
