ftp set defualt to passive [message #760657]

I browsed through bug list and noticed that it is listed there from 2009 Smile

269442

I'm not a Java developer myself but I use RSE every day for about 1000 different ftp hosts and 90% of time I need to go trough the painful path setting a ftp connection to be passive. I work in a support line and it is not unusual for me to deal with 40 different ftp connections per day.

create a connection > wait it to fail > open subsystem properties > ftp properties > change to passive

it seems that change keeps delayed all the time. Can someone pinpoint me to a place where this setting is coded in or defined in this project so I could just change this and build my self a special version (even if i need to learn how to build this for just this change)

Hi Anton,

Given, an IHost for an ftp connection, you can set it to passive by using
this code:

...
IConnectorService conServ =
(IConnectorService)ftpHost.getConnectorServices()[0];
IPropertySet properties = conServ.getPropertySet("FTP Settings");
properties.addProperty("passive","true",PropertyType.getEnumPropertyType(new
String[]{"true","false"}));
...
