RE: FTP Client Problem.

You might be able to use QUOTE TIME 300 100 from the FTP command line where 300 is the default inactivity timeout and 100 sets the transfer timeout.  I think its default value is 420.

Subject: FTP Client Problem.

We have a process that is using the AS/400 FTP client to put a file
on a unix server over a VPN.  Every once in a while the connection is
broken between the server and the client.  When this happens the
AS/400 FTP client hangs for 600 seconds.... there does not seem to be
a way to modify that 600 second value.

This only happens with AS/400 FTP client.... I tried countless others
and each one allows you to set the time-out value at the client
level. On the AS/400 FTP Server you can reset the transfer and
inactivity values with the quote time XXX XXX command, but this does
not help with the AS/400 FTP client.

My question is --> Is there a equivalent command for the AS/400 FTP
client? or some other way to change the 600 second value?

Any help would be appreciated.
