Re: FTP time out

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't see your original question anymore, so can't speak to what I 
thought at the time.

I think I saw you asking how to set timeouts on the server, from the 
client. QUOTE TIME will do that - and it has 2 timeouts, as documented 
with QUOTE HELP TIME:

TIME <inactivity> <transfer>: Sets server time-out values for this FTP 
session.
  <inactivity> is the inactivity time-out in seconds
  <transfer> (optional) is the file transfer time-out in seconds.
Example:  TIME 900.

I was pointing out that we often don't know about the ___2nd timeout___ 
value for transfer timeout.

I must admit I don't know what FTPAPI is - you mention it is IBM's - I 
do know about Scott Klement's service program - is that what you mean?

Cheers
Vern
