Sitecopy checks the times by downloading a directory listing via ftp, and checking that against the local files. If the server times out while the listing is being downloaded, then it's a server problem (overload) or network problem (also overload). Neither should happen within the timeouts typically used by ftp servers, which should be at least 60 seconds. > > Is there a way to tell sitecopy to send the ftp idle command to increase > > the timeout? > > No, I don't know of any way to do this with FTP. Are you referring to > some server-specific command which is available, or something? Joe, there is an ftp idle command (ftp to somewhere, then type help at the prompt and your ftp client should tell you) which modifies the timeout in seconds used by the ftp server. This timeout is applied while the tcp/ftp is open and no command is received from the client (or perhaps while no data has been transferred either way). For sitecopy this should not be relevant as the next ftp command is issued by sitecopy as soon as the previous one finishes. I find it somewhat hard to believe that sitecopy would need more than 60 seconds to check a listing against the local store, or could this indeed happen on very large directories with a slow local computer?
