  Set the port to connect to on the remote server. Can only do this if not already connected.

  Parameters:
    `remotePort` - The port to use.
  Throws:
    `FTPException` - Thrown if the client is already connected to the server.

### getTimeout

    int getTimeout()

  Get the TCP timeout on the underlying socket(s). A value of 0 (the default) means that there are no timeouts.

  Returns:
    timeout that is used, in milliseconds

### setTimeout

    void setTimeout(int millis)
                    throws java.io.IOException,
                           FTPException

### setProgressMonitor

    void setProgressMonitor(FTPProgressMonitor monitor,

  Set a progress monitor for callbacks. The bytes transferred in between callbacks is only indicative. In many cases, the data is read in chunks, and if the interval is set to be smaller than the chunk size, the callback will occur after after chunk transfer rather than the interval. Depending on the implementation, the chunk size can be as large as 64K.

  Parameters:
    `monitor` - the monitor object
    `interval` - bytes transferred in between callbacks

### setProgressMonitor

    void setDetectTransferMode(boolean detectTransferMode)

  Set autodetect of filetypes on or off. If on, the transfer mode is switched from ASCII to binary and vice versa depending on the extension of the file. After the transfer, the mode is always returned to what it was before the transfer was performed. The default is off. If the filetype is unknown, the transfer mode is unchanged

  Parameters:
    `detectTransferMode` - true if detecting transfer mode, false if not

### getDetectTransferMode

    boolean getDetectTransferMode()

  Get the detect transfer mode

  Returns:
    true if we are detecting binary and ASCII transfers from the file type

### resume

    void resume()
                throws FTPException

  Make the next file transfer (put or get) resume. For puts(), the bytes already transferred are skipped over, while for gets(), if writing to a file, it is opened in append mode, and only the bytes required are transferred. Currently resume is only supported for BINARY transfers (which is generally what it is most useful for).

  Throws:
    `FTPException`

### cancelResume

    void cancelResume()
                      throws java.io.IOException,
                             FTPException

  Cancel the resume. Use this method if something goes wrong and the server is left in an inconsistent state

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`
    `FTPException`

### cancelTransfer

    void cancelTransfer()

  Cancels the current transfer. Generally called from a separate thread. Note that this may leave partially written files on the server or on local disk, and should not be used unless absolutely necessary. After the transfer is cancelled the connection may be in an inconsistent state, therefore it is best to quit and reconnect. It may cause exceptions to be thrown depending on the underlying protocol being used. Note that this can also be used to cancel directory listings, which can involve large amounts of data for directories containing many files.

### put

    java.lang.String put(java.lang.String localPath,
                         java.lang.String remoteFile)
