[java-dev] Re: ftp in mxj example?

Hi Simon,

It'll be using blocking sockets - that is, it halts the whole thread 
when waiting for data from the socket. Solution: use a separate thread.

Other FTP programs, as separate processes, run in a different thread by 
definition (hence the lack of blocking).

In FTP apps it is quite common to have one thread that handles the 
socket communication for control messages and another for the data 
transfer (as these use different sockets).
