So is the idiomatic approach for this with something like the FTPClient to subclass it and override connectionLost? FTPClientBasic clears up queued commands when this happens (which I assume I still want it to do).

Is it idiomatic? I don't know. It accomplishes your goal. If you like, propose a better API (file a ticket, attach a patch, etc: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/ContributingToTwistedLabs#CodeContributio... ) Jean-Paul

To me it seems a little overbearing to have to subclass the ftpclient just to get a tcp connection lost event (which seem like an event most users would be interested in).

I am writing a simple ftp client which I am trying to dispose of. Right now I send a quit command:

(the ftp_client reference is a FTPClient built with a ClientCreator)

deferred = ftp_client.quit()

And I register a callback:

def quitSent(response): print "quit acknowledged...connected?", ftp_client.transport.connected

deferred.addCallback(quitSent)

If I invoke the above the connection is printed as connected.

There is no documented `connected` attribute of transports. So who knows what this is telling you. :)

However, the way you learn when a protocol's transport has disconnected is to implement the `connectionLost` method on the protocol. It is called when the transport disconnects.

However if I schedule a callback to check the status later:

...

def status(): print "quit acknowledged...connected?", ftp_client.transport.connected

reactor.callLater(1, self.status)

If I schedule a callback for a second later the transport is not connected. I've searched quite a bit but I cannot determine a way to register a callback for when the TCP transport is actually disconnected. Can anyone offer some insight? I'd like to know explicitly when the client is closed.

Thanks,

Peter
