This is a small patch to the legacy ftp client to fix a performance regression that seems to have crept in when this code was refactored in jdk7. When uploading in image/binary mode (the default or when specifying type=i) then the URLConnection's getOutputStream method no longer returns an OutputStream that delegates to a buffered stream. This means that writing to the output stream essentially delegates to the raw socket stream.
The proposed change is here. As it's a performance fix then I don't propose to add new tests to the jdk repo.
