Re: Ftping large files w/o timing out

Currently the savf function on the local system takes place just before the
backups
......to insure I get the same image it will
......this is around 4am

Then at 8am it runs the ftp script to transfer the files to the remote
iseries
.....currently the timeout intervals are set to 10800 (3 hrs)
.....which should be adequate, but it's not
.....this is set for both ends

/ Set Remote timeouts (180 mins) inactivity and transfer
FtpLin = 'QUOTE TIME 10800 10800';
write FtpSrcR;

/ Set Local timeouts (180 mins inactivity)
FtpLin = 'DEBUG T1 10800';
write FtpSrcR;

/ Set Local timeouts (180 mins transfer)
FtpLin = 'DEBUG T2 10800';
write FtpSrcR;

It will timeout at about 1 hr

It defaults to Extended Passive mode
.....I'm going to try and turn that off
.....and turn on PASV mode as suggested in another response

If that doesn't work, I will try some of the other suggestions
......like qshell with jar files etc.

Thanks
