Gary D. Gregory commented on VFS-422:
-------------------------------------

Feel free to provide a patch! :)

Please keep in mind that this needs to be testable. 

So please also patch {{org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.sftp.test.SftpProviderTestCase}}.

> In the software I am writing, I need to execute commands when the filesystems "allows" it, i.e. local or via ssh (i.e. sftp filesystem). 
> For a local filesystem, I can easily do this, but for Sftp, there is no way to get a channel different than the SFTP on, so it would be great if other channels could be open.
> I could submit a patch that would:
> 1) Allows a call to session.openChannel(String type) [following getChannel()]
> 2) Overwrite isReleaseable to keep the filesystem open if some external channels are open
