/**
 * A class that implements the FTP protocol according to
 * RFCs <A href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0959.txt">959,
 * <A href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2228.txt">2228,
 * <A href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2389.txt">2389,
 * <A href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2428.txt">2428,
 * <A href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3659.txt">3659,
 * <A href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4217.txt">4217.
 * Which includes support for FTP over SSL/TLS (aka ftps).
 *
 * {@code FtpClient} provides all the functionalities of a typical FTP
 * client, like storing or retrieving files, listing or creating directories.
 * A typical usage would consist of connecting the client to the server,
 * log in, issue a few commands then logout.
 * Here is a code example:
 * <pre>
 * FtpClient cl = FtpClient.create();
 * cl.connect("ftp.gnu.org").login("anonymous", "john.doe@mydomain.com".toCharArray())).changeDirectory("pub/gnu");
 * Iterator<FtpDirEntry> dir = cl.listFiles();
 *     while (dir.hasNext()) {
 *         FtpDirEntry f = dir.next();
 *         System.err.println(f.getName());
 *     }
 *     cl.close();
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>Error reporting: There are, mostly, two families of errors that
 * can occur during an FTP session. The first kind are the network related issues
 * like a connection reset, and they are usually fatal to the session, meaning,
 * in all likelyhood the connection to the server has been lost and the session
 * should be restarted from scratch. These errors are reported by throwing an
 * {@link IOException}. The second kind are the errors reported by the FTP server,
 * like when trying to download a non-existing file for example. These errors
 * are usually non fatal to the session, meaning more commands can be sent to the
 * server. In these cases, a {@link FtpProtocolException} is thrown.</p>
 * <p>
 * It should be noted that this is not a thread-safe API, as it wouldn't make
 * too much sense, due to the very sequential nature of FTP, to provide a
 * client able to be manipulated from multiple threads.
 *
 * @since 1.7
