Re: FTP Questions

Rob
It can't hurt - the setting is for the current session only - and these are things that control how the client handles things when it gets no response for a while. Having said that, I've not done it while downloading from IBM - as you might have guessed, I've sort of given up on that for cumes.

Vern,

I have had some huge ftp downloads from IBM's Fix Central drop.  Do you
recommend setting these?  Or do you think it was a network interruption?

Re: FTP Questions






Changing the inactivity timeout in CHGFTPA does not affect how the
iSeries works as a client - that is a server setting. I assume you
are the client to the government site.

In order to set the client timeouts, use the DEBUG T1 or T2 command
as listed - T1 is the inactivity one and sets how long your session
waits for a response from the remote server. T2 is the transfer
timeout and sets how long you wait before a transfer of data is done
- something like that - if you go into an ftp session to loopback,
you can type debug time (it's and error) and get the help for this -
