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. This 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 for which the daemon allows for the entire RFC 931
(AUTH/ident) 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 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 timeout syntax is 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
