Description Ankit Pasricha CLA 2008-08-12 14:20:51 EDT 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a connection to a remote system using the FTP connection type.
2. Expand the My Home filter. Folders and files in your home directory should show up.
3. Do not perform any other actions and wait for the connection to time out.
4. Expand a folder within your home directory. 

Note that RSE re-establishes the connection. However, UI does not wait for the connection so the expansion of the folder returns an error.

patch to do noop() when checking if ftp client is still connected

Here's one approach to dealing with this issue although I'm not sure if it's the best solution since a noop is called everytime a call to FTPService.isConnected() gets called (and this results in a message on the console).

Any thoughts on this?

I haven't got a response on my patch so I'm just going to commit it since it's needed for 3.0.1.
