2 Hours i have spent on this.

String key = base64encode(password);

FTPClient completePendingCommand() deadlock stuck freeze

It's strange, that this method hangs or freeze for this method.

I used commons-net 2.2v, don't know if it already solved at 3v. But, i have found that my problem was:

There are some cases where this method isn't really necessary, beware.

Hoped it helped,
