Thanks, Charles,

Yes, that looks like it might work.  The problem with it is that I'm
trying to just use the VFS.  VFS supports ftp, smb, sftp, http, etc.  If
I'm doing a file put I should just be able to pass the URL to VFS and it
will transfer the file.  But this solution requires me to do something
different for ftp than for the other protocols.  It seems like this
close capability is not exposed at a higher, more generic level.  I
would have expected some such close method in the FileSystemManager, and
it would be a no-op for some protocols.

I'm hoping that I'm missing something.
