SocketTimeoutInterval is the amount of time you are willing to wait for gaps in data transmition before you get a socketTimeout message. It defaults to 50000 milliseconds but you can set it to any value you want. A socketTimeout message doesn't mean a disconnect, just that nothing came through the pipe in a while. > > Does the FTP function automatically close the socket it uses to make the No, you can reuse a socket opened to the same server. Servers usually time-out (close) an unused connection after a while (you get a dialog) but the library has an internal timeout-disconnect mechanism which closes the socket after 3 minutes of inactivity. > transfer?
