RE: TimeOut for STOR

[Mike Krebs <mkrebs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rick,

From the article:
A timeout value. All subsequent FTP commands that use this FTP session time out after this many seconds.

So, yes, setting the timeout on the open should work on the FTP_PUT. There is no separate timeout value for the FTP_PUT itself.

The FTP_PUT is where the program seems to stall the FTP_CONN is connecting.
Do I have any control on how long the FTP_PUT tries to send?

FTP_open(): Open a connection to an FTP server                    
                                                                   
    peHost = host to connect to.                                   
    pePort = (optional) port number to connect to.  If not given,  
             FTPAPI will use the FTP_PORT constant                 
 peTimeout = (optional) time to wait for data from server before   
             giving up.  (seconds)  default is 0 (wait forever)    

sess = FTP_open(host: FTP_PORT: 60)

Sets the timeout to 60 seconds.

Subject: TimeOut for STOR

I have an FTP job using FTPAPI and was wondering if there is a way to timeout the STOR.
We have a daily job that submits a file every hour during the day via FTP.    On several
Occasions we've had the job just hand on the STOR command.    Is there a way for me
to have this timeout/error-out so I can handle this situation?

The last message I have in the joblog  is the following.   It doesn't give an error it just
Hangs at this command.
