Is there any way to increase the wait time for an FTP login session -
I think I'm having timeouts when my host gets under heavy load.

Thanks - John

Good grief - not even a "no it can't be done" reply??

i spent 10 secs just now RTFMing and see options -r and -q on tnftp - these don't help?

oops, sorry, looks like prior went as HTML, hoping this goes as flat
text as required by forum, apologies if it doesn't....

Graham,

Your response is kindly and truly appreciated even if you are a bit
condescending to me. I am delighted that you found a good answer in
ten seconds - apparently I'm not as smart or as creative as you are.
It really didn't occur to me that I should have looked at tnftp
options or I certainly wouldn't have bothered the forum.

It is one of my life's primary goals to never ask a dumb question,
unfortunately I still have a lot of work ahead of me.

John, as a beginner (for several years!) I feel the same way as you. I know I will be asking questions that are seen as "dumb" by some people on the list, and that makes me reluctant to pose questions. But I ask that those "experts" keep in mind that that they, too at some point did not know it all. While I appreciate the time that people spend to help out and couldn't manage without that help, I don't appreciate the attitude that occasionally comes with the advice.
 
The "attitude", in my opinion, takes away from the "free" aspect of Linux - the sharing of a great system that allows us to do so much.
 
Now stepping down from podium
