| Auto FTP Manager: Connection Settings |
Connection Settings
These settings apply to all profiles. 1) Timeouts and Retries:
After sending a command, Auto FTP Manager waits the Timeout period before determining that the command will not complete successfully and aborting. Retries apply to attempts to log into the FTP server: how many times to try, and how long to wait between tries. The Retry settings are especially important if you are connecting to a busy FTP server, because if all connections are in use, multiple retries might be needed to finally make a connection.
- Use Give server x minute (s) to respond before aborting to specify how many minutes to wait before aborting.
- Use Retry Login x times to specify how many times you want to retry login if the login fails.
- Use Retry Delay x sec (s) to specify the delay in connection retries.
2) Keep alive settings:
Many FTP servers will automatically disconnect if no commands are sent for too long. The Keep Alive function prevents disconnection by sending commands (that don't do anything) regularly.
- To allow keep alive you can check Enable keep alive option.
- To specify keep alive interval use Keep Alive interval x sec (s) spin control.
To choose a command to be sent select one of the following:
- NOOP (No Operation - Recommended)
- PWD (Present Working Directory)
Note
Some FTP servers do not support the NOOP command and can close down the connection even after they receive the NOOP FTP command regularly. For such FTP servers, it is recommended to use the PWD command for Keep Alive.
To use default Connection Settings click on Use Default.
