WU-FTPD 2.6.1 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX 11i v3

Table 1-1 FTP Daemon timeout Options
DescriptionOption
The time period for which the daemon waits for an incoming (PASV-passive)
data connection. The default value is 120 seconds.
accept
The time period the daemon waits before attempting to establish an outgoing
(PORT-port) data connection. The default value is 120 seconds. The connect
option affects the actual connection attempt. The daemon makes several attempts
at regular intervals, sleeping between each attempt, before disconnecting. During
the 120-minute timeframe, the daemon continues its attempt to establish a
connection. If the daemon fails to establish a connection during this time period,
it disconnects.
connect
The time period the daemon waits for some activity on the data connection. The
default value is 1200 seconds.
data
The time period the daemon waits for the next command. The default value is
900 seconds.
idle
The maximum time period the daemon allows for entire RFC 931 (Authentication
Server) conversation. The default value is 10 seconds.
RFC931
The SITE IDLE command allows the remote client to establish a higher value
for the idle timeout. With the maxidle option set in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess
file, you can override the value set with the SITE IDLE command. The default
value is 1200 seconds.
maxidle
The syntax for the timeout clauses are as follows:
timeout accept <seconds>
timeout connect <seconds>
timeout data <seconds>
timeout idle <seconds>
timeout maxidle <seconds>
timeout RFC931 <seconds>
Following are some examples for the timeout clause:
— timeout idle 200
This displays the message Current IDLE time limit is 200 seconds;
max 7200
— timeout maxidle 6200
This displays the message Current IDLE time limit is 200 seconds;
max 6200
— timeout RFC931 0
This disables RFC 931-based authentication because 0 is specified.
