RE: Ftping large files w/o timing out

No, not particularly

But, I had discovered in another post about using passive mode (PASV)
......as opposed to the default of ... extended passive mode (EPSV)

That seems to do the trick
....it does not have issues with the firewall now
....no time out

Thanks for asking

And thanks for all the other suggestions
......I knew there had to be a way

Does NETSTAT show anything useful?

/ Set Remote timeouts (180 mins) inactivity and transfer

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
