Hi,

A customer is reporting slow Ftp upload in Java 7, versus Java 6.

<<

In our application, we are using URL.openConnection() to open the FTP connection. We would like to know if there is a way to open the buffer Size as mentioned in the URL below or could we do something else to make the “ java FTP” file transfer faster ?

>>

The last version tested that does not worked is 7u15. The version
that is working is 6u33.
Solaris 10

No testcase, but here is the snippet:

 URL lUrl = new URL(aInContextURL, aInFtpUrl);
lUrl.openConnection().getOutputStream();
