RE: FTP "Keep Alive"

Paul,
here are some tips from Oracle to Keep Alive and not timeout FTP of huge
files.

- Change the TCP/IP buffer size on your System i to 65536, using the
following command:
CHGTCPA TCPRCVBUF(65536) TCPSNDBUF(65536)
- Set the QINACTITV System Value on your System i5 to *NONE, using the
following command:
CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QINACTITV) VALUE(*NONE)
- Note the original value of this System Value so you can set the system
value back after the download.

++++++++++++++ tips below apply to FTPing to your PC -------
- Use a Windows workstation with at least a 1 GHz processor, 1GB of
memory and 7 GB of free disk space.
- You will probably need double the size of the download files as open
space on your Windows workstation hard drive.
- Do not run other Windows programs while downloading.
- Consider running the downloads after normal business hours, or when
network traffic is low.
- Run the installation from a local workstation or server.
- If your Windows workstation or server also has a wireless network
connection, disable the wireless connection before starting a download.
- Set your network card to maximum speed, such as 100mb/full, unless you
are on a cable modem connection, in which case you should leave the
network connection speed set to Auto.
