Timeout setting for FTP Client

[neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Excuse me if this was posted to the list - I sent it this morning but never
saw it.

Use the FTP DEBUG command to set the client timeout value.

DEBUG (To change the client time-out limit values)

    This special debug option is provided to enable users to change the
    client time-out limits when the default time-out values are not long
    enough for a data transfer to complete successfully.  Changing these
    values should be necessary only in situations where network traffic
    or other conditions cause transfer times to become very large.

    FTP client time-out values may be changed using the Debug subcommand
    as follows:


     DEBug    T1 | T2    [ value ]


     T1          When the first parameter is set to T1, it specifies that
                 the FTP client time-out limit for reading server replies
                 should be changed or displayed.

                 If the FTP client does not return an expected server
                 reply within this time limit, the client will close the
                 control connection to the server.

     T2          When the first parameter is set to T2, it specifies that
                 the FTP client time-out limit used while transferring
                 data should be changed or displayed.

                 If the FTP client does not receive an expected data
              connection response within this time limit, the client
              will close the data connection to the server.

  value       The time-out limit in seconds.  This value must be a
              positive number greater than zero.  When this parameter
              is omitted, the current value of the time-out limit is
              displayed.

  For example,

         DEBUG  T1 900

  sets the client time-out value for server replies to 900 seconds.
