RE: FTP time-out with directories over 1000 files

If you check the client (FileZilla), etc, many have timeout values of as little as 30 seconds, or 60 seconds... - and this is hard to do when it is not remote employees but customers? There may also be timeout in your router or theirs.

They have to do a DIR to get the file names to download.

It times out long before the 300 second default, and it doesn't actually lose the connection, it just gives up retrieving the directory.

Thanks, Art

thousands of files (big shops..)

Art,

1) Why are they performing an ls or dir on such a crowded forder? I
think it's no easy to find something that way
2) have you tried with SSH?
3)

Our ftp clients timeout when trying to do a dir on large directories.

The ftp server is the ibm i. Clients are windows command line ftp,
FileZilla and others.

I don’t see a timeout setting on the server.

Any other suggestions?
