Hai guys,

I am using the FileZilla ftp. Simple and very good.

After few minuts of idle (2 or 3 ) it disconnet the connection. so every time i have to reconnect it using quik connect.
I Put time out to 0 under edit > settings . but no answer.

You sure it isn't your FTP server disconnecting you?

[mendhak]

Also, are you sending "FTP Keep Alive commands"?

[Fazi]

Hai mendhak,
ah, #4 #5 i really did not care about them. so i take it serious and now check.
after disconneting, the last 3 lines are look like this.

Status: Directory listing successful
Response: 421 Idle Timeout (600 seconds): closing control connection.
Error: Disconnected from server

I have uncheck that Keep alive option. that is the default.
so shall i check it. coz it look like a good option to keep alive ?

I've found FileZilla to disconnect intermittently even when it does send Keep-Alive commands.

[mendhak]

I tested this out, you're right. It was sending keep alive commands and disconnected me anyways. Not sure why this is happening. I think I'll move on to WinSCP too

[Fazi]

FileZilla > WinSCP

[Fazi]

WinSCP
WinSCP > FileZilla

Yes it does that all the time.

If I have enough energy I will download WinSC and uninstall filezilla.

[Fazi]

Hai,
FileZilla remain for atleast 5 minutes when idle. But WinSCP not more than 1 min. I could not find any settings for the connection under preference.
Thats y i switched back to filezilla.

Check the "Advanced options" checkbox and then select Connection > Keep alives > Execute dummy protocol commands > Seconds between keep alives > xx seconds > Save...

[mendhak]

I'm liking WinSCP, especially the shell integration option which lets me upload files 'faster than usual.'

[RobDog888]

Say I noticed that when I upload with WinSC it may be loading slower then Filezilla. With Filezilla it uploads at 90 and when using WinSC it uploads at 60

[penagate]

Speed depends on protocol mostly. Filezilla defaults to FTP; WinSCP defaults to SFTP which is encrypted and thus slower. If you specify FTP, it'll be as quick as FileZilla.

[RobDog888]

Ah ok. Thanks PG

[Fazi]

What about your disconnecting issue with WinSCP ?

[RobDog888]

Me? Post #13.

Rob, Where is the "Advanced options" thing in winSCP

I think winSCP 's interface is really really poor

I was using Smart FTP until it recently expire.

what an interface that was.

* i am going to sleep, now it is 1 am. tomorrow ill check your replies
Gud 9t

That must have been during my setup but you can access it from the login window.

I don't even have keep-alive enabled in WinSCP and it never disconnects unless there's a network error.
