Re: Ftping large files w/o timing out

In my experience, which is granted a bit dated, DTACPR(*HIGH) yielded very
little added reduction in file size over *MEDIUM but the time to do the
save, and amount of CPU consumed, was much higher.

I would attack this as a network issue, specifically firewall and/or
time-out related.

And on the i side:

timeouts and possibly trying PASV v. PORT for the mode.

That is how I am doing the savf

What we are doing, is using this process as a secondary method of DR

This doesn't answer the timeout problem directly but...
If when you save your objects
you set DTACPR (data compression) to *MEDIUM or *HIGH you should get very
good "shrinkage" on the *SAVF size.
WARNING - Time to save will increase.

Is there a way to ftp large files between local iseries/remote iSeries
and not time out

...there are firewalls on each end

...so I don't know if it's the iSeries timing out or the windows
firewall



I have 2 *savf files I need to transfer on a regular basis

..but the server always times out



I have changed the inactivity time to 0 on both ends to supposedly not
time out

..Not

I have used the TIME command in ftp to set it to high timeout values

...and DEBUG T1/T2

...Neither of those makes a difference either



One file is 3.94Gb and the other is 9.52Gb



I can do it from the windows server

...and it does not timeout from there



But why can't I do it from the iSeries



Suggestions please

..no amount of searching seems to help
