FTP REMOTE COMMAND timing out under Windows 2000

Hi All,

We have been using FTP QUOTE RCMD to run programs on the AS/400 from the PC.
Our FTP script consists of several steps ...

        QUOTE RCMD ADDLIBLE
        QUOTE RCMD CHGDTAARA
        QUOTE RCMD AA317D
        GET datafile

AA317D runs a COBOL program that prepares the datafile.   Under Windows
95/98/NT this worked very well.  But under Windows 2000, we receive
CONNECTION CLOSED BY REMOTE HOST if the remote command  AA317D runs longer
than 60 seconds.   We called Microsoft and was told this is an AS.400 issue.
Somehow we need to send packets back so that we don't time out.   Runtime
exceeds 60 seconds when there is a large amount of data to prepare and the
server is already taxed.  How do we send packets back?  SNDPGMMSG didn't
work.


Thanks
Ron
