I think you can send the "idle" command to the server, which will adjust the timeout, but only up to the maximal value set by the server. Check "man ftp", "man ftpd", especially the -t and -T options to the server. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
