FTP Configuration: Combine the two keep-alive options
Posted: 24 Jul 2006, 17:29
Hi *,
I was a little confused today: after some 300secs the connection was closed even though "FTP Configuration - Defaults" showed me "send NOOP" and "stop sending after 30 minutes" for keeping connection alive. After having a more detailed look, I found that "FTP Configuration - advanced" said "cancel data connection if it is idele for 300 seconds".
For users it is not obvious a) that both fields exist b) which of the two is dominant and c) what's the exact difference between them. From my point of view, the connection is not idle when NOOPs are send (!), so the connection shall not close down after 300secs but 30mins. Obviously the programmer thought different...
Please do somehow link both fields to each other. At least a hint in the lable, better show the value of the other field or something like that.
Thanks, Georg
