Method Detail

authorize

public abstract boolean authorize(String name,
                                  String password,
                                  String configDir,
                                  LogMsg log)

Authenticate somehow.

Parameters:

name - Entity name.

password - Entity password.

configDir - Configuration directory for the FTP server.

log - Log object. Usage: log.logMsg(String msg). The server prepends the thread name to the message to track sessions. You can do this by log.logMsg(Thread.currentThread().getName() + msg);

Returns:

true if the entity exists and uses the given password, false otherwise.

getTimeout

public abstract int getTimeout()

Get the session timeout. You may provide a session timeout in milliseconds. This is the time that may elapse between commands (not including transfer times) before the session is automatically logged out.

Returns:

session timeout . A value of 0 means never time out.
