[New-bugs-announce] [issue4814] ftplib does not honour "timeout" parameter for active data connections

[Giampaolo Rodola']

New submission from Giampaolo Rodola' <billiejoex at users.sourceforge.net>:

When using the optional ftplib.FTP()'s timeout parameter which 
specifies a timeout in seconds for blocking operations like the 
connection attempt, it is applied on both FTP control and passive data 
channel (if any).
It is not applied for active (PORT/EPRT) data connections.
The patch in attachment modifies ftplib so that when ntransfer method 
is called in active mode, timeout is applied on the resulting data 
connection.
