FTP: Connect automatically on timeout

Post by *MariusC »

I'm editing local files and uploading them from time to time to the server. FTP Server does not accept any "keep connection" commands.
Uploading a file after a timeout occurs asks me if I want to re-establish the connection.
Can this be in some way automated, like "[X] Always reconnect" via options?

Yes it could, but the problem is that many functions cannot resume when the conenction failed, so the user wouldn't know that it failed.

BTW, try using LIST as the keep alive command, many servers work with that.

TC already detects if a connection has been dropped and asked for a reconnect. What I asked is to replace that dialog with an automatic function that reconnects without confirmation (if I transfer a file to the FTP)
