[issue13714] Methods of ftplib never ends if the ip address changes

[Sworddragon]

Sworddragon <sworddragon2 at aol.com> added the comment:

The problem is that it is for example here in germany very common that the provider disconnects the client every 24 hours and gives him a new ip address if his router reconnects. This makes it very difficult to send big files with ftplib.

For example for daily backups I have written an automatic backup script which uses ftplib. The transfer needs some hours and very often it fails (it silently never ends) because I got a new ip address.
