    Arrow FTP Timeout

    Anyone know where/how I can change the default FTP timeout of 5 minutes?

    Thanks

    It's in the httpd.conf file.

    Here's a copy of the section you will want to look at:

    #
    # Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
    #
    Timeout 300

    #
    # KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
    # one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
    #
    KeepAlive On

    #
    # MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
    # during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
    # We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
    #
    MaxKeepAliveRequests 500

    #
    # KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
    # same client on the same connection.
    #
    KeepAliveTimeout 60


    Timeout shouldn't be set too long though. It's better to use a program that sends keep alive signals, as long as KeepAlive is set to on.

    My server must be set up differently then. I don't remember how I found out about the settings, but they work for me.

    I checked my proftpd.conf file and there is nothing in it about timeouts.
