Post Issue regarding inheritance 
It seems FTPClient could be made much more friendly to descendant classes. For example, there is no access to "control" nor "CheckConnection" which makes it very difficult to truly extend this class using inheritance. In fact, numerous method have been marked as internal which really lock down this class when it comes to inheritance.

Is there a particular reason that this class, among others (refer to my post on FTPReply), is so locked down? Am I missing something?

Thanks

Yes, of course, but it seems the changes I'm talking about would dramatically increase the extensibility of this library. It seems the tendency is to make methods and member internal which is extremely restricting for a library like this.

I'll send email to the address you provided with my suggestions.

Thanks

We have, thank you for your comments. We've had a preliminary look through but it'll take a little while for us to do anything.
