Morning everyone
I have a question concerning ftp. Hopefully my question comes across the
way I want it to.
We have a script that gets files via ftp from different sites. If for some
reason that ftp site is not available, we have to wait for a time-out to
occur on the ftp request.
Who controls that time-out? Is there a way to programmatically recognize
that situation to circumvent the time-out?
Here is a copy of what the FTPLOG looks like
6/03/08 22:08:30 XXXXXXXX Send FTP File (SNDFTPF) Command Log
Input read from specified override file.
Connecting to remote host 123.45.678.901 using port 21.
Cannot connect to host 123.45.678.901 at address123.45.678.901. Try again
later.
Enter an FTP subcommand.
etc
etc

As usual, many thanks for any and all help offered
