Few queries on file adapter using FTP

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have two important questions in File Adapter using FTP protocol.

1) If we specify the connection to be permanent and set the timeout to

60 seconds. Will the adapter close the connection after 60 seconds and

establish a new one?

2) If we set the timeout to 60 seconds and have to transfer a big file

that takes 2 minutes to transfer. Will the transfer be closed after one

minute?

PLease get back to as soon as possible.

Thanks soorya,

If connection is permanent and we specify the Timeout of 60 second, the connection will be terminated. As XI treat Timeout as an error, it will disconnect and try to establish the new connection.

2) If we set the timeout to 60 seconds and have to transfer a big file

If the data is in progress and Timeout will not come into play. Timeout is the time in which there is no data transferred between channel and server. if data is getting transferred it will not play any role.
