FTP client timeout

[Ash Dey]

I am trying to connect to a FTP server using the windows
(XP) FTP client . It times out after a while. However, if
I use another FTP client (e.g. WS_FTP) and set the
timeout to 2 minutes it connects to the FTP server
without any problem.

Does anyone have any idea as how we can set the timout
property in the Windows FTP client supplied by Microsoft?

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK there is no option to specify timeout for the default Windows FTP
client. If what you need is a scriptable command-line utility the
freeware NcFTP client from www.ncftp.com has all the features you need.
