Good Morning,

Is there a time out for transfer ?  When my customers FTP lots of small 
files, the FTP client just hangs and the transfer has to be restarted - 
it's not just my customers either... my side of our firewall does it too...

I tried all the obvious like PASV mode and keep alive, but there is a known 
bug in proFTPd with regard to timeouts retting, but I forget the details now...

I was thinking that I could increase the transfer timeout value to 
circumvent this.
