Auto timeout .... how to extend the time limit

[Tropical3]

Newbie here ...

I've tried several times to change the settings so that, when connected to a site, the timeout remains for 10+ mins. I prefer not to have to 'reconnect' at regular intervals.

Suggestions?

Currently, I am being disconnected from my server after 2 mins.

In Connections->Advanced one checkbox is "Keep Alive". I've checked it, and set the "Keep Alive (secs)" to 600, hoping to allow myself 10 minutes before getting kicked. I assumed that CoreFTP Pro would send a 'ping'. I assumed (wrongly) that by setting it to 600 that this would ensure I would be connected for 600 seconds. Is it that I must set it to 60 seconds to ensure that a ping is sent every 1 minute?

I don't think there is a way on the client side that you can prevent the server from disconnecting you at certain intervals. It's more server dependent than client dependent. In other words, the server typically decides when it will kick you off due to inactivity. Many servers disconnect you after x minutes of no transfers.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking exactly (I could be missing something)...

You can turn off the reconnect option under the advanced -> connections setting of a site profile.

I'll try and read this post again soon and hope I figure out just what it is that I could be missing.

Yes, random commands are being issued. I am still being disconnected so probably this is due to the server limit.

Thanks,

That is what you should do in order to stay connected. When you're connected, do you see random commands being issued to the server (in the log)? If you aren't seeing them, the 'keep alive' functionality may not be turned on.

However, if you have done this, this is all you can do. The server likely has a timeout set to 2 minutes so that if you do not transfer any files during that time, it will disconnect you.
