TIME (Set Time-Out Values for FTP Server)

FTP server subcommand

After the FTP control connection is established between the FTP client and the FTP server, the FTP server controls the time-out for this connection. This is the inactivity time-out value.

There is also a time-out value for the data connection, known as the transfer time-out.

The format of the TIME FTP server subcommand is:

inactivity

The number of seconds the server waits before ending the connection with the client. Inactivity time-out values can range from 1-9,999,999 seconds. The default inactivity time-out value is 300 seconds.

transfer

The file transfer time-out in seconds. This parameter is optional. If you do not specify this parameter, then the server does not change the current value. Transfer time-out values can range from 1-9,999,999 seconds. The default transfer time-out value is 420 seconds.

For example, to set the inactivity time-out value of the FTP server to 1000 seconds, and keep the current value of the transfer time-out, enter this:

QUOTE TIME 1000

The TIME subcommand is not a standard FTP subcommand. It is iSeries™ FTP server specific.
