Use efs-close-ftp-process (bound to "M-e c" in Dired). This will also
flush any additional FTP commands which are queued for that
connection. Although the connection will be closed, all of the
internal cache will be retained for it. When the connection is needed
again it will of course be automatically re-opened. This should go
reasonably quickly because the cache data is retained.
I know that it is possible to interrupt an FTP file transfer without
closing the connection. However, in the past when I've played with
adding this to EFS, I've had problems with some clients or servers
getting wedged or dying. It's on my to-do list to eventually have
another look at this. Unfortunately, I will not be getting to this
before the next release.
