Dropped Connections

Using edtFTP, is it possible to recover from a dropped connection to the server in mid-transfer?

When I yank the internet connection in the midst of an upload, my Java app just seems to hang. It doesn't abort and I don't see an exception that I could catch.

Also, is there at least a timeout I can set? I've tried, setTimeout(), getAdvancedFTPSettings().setRetryCount() and getAdvancedFTPSettings().setRetryDelay() but none of those seem to have any effect.

What timeout value are you setting?

Right now, I'm doing setTimeout(20000), but I've used a range of values, and the bottom line is it doesn't seem to be timing out when the connection drops. The use I'm putting this to is a circumstance where files are often being sent over an aircard, so a dropped connection is extremely common, and the application needs to detect this and recover.

Normally this isn't a problem - you get an exception thrown.

Are you sure a transfer is occurring? The socket read should time out.

Maybe it is worth writing a simple Java socket program to try to see if you can detect the unplug.
