Hi , Sajith

Ftp In active session
By default time out is 15 minutes

You can edit /etc/inetd.conf

for one our u can try

ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -T 216000

after editing restart demon

# /sbin/init.d/inetd stop
Internet Services stopped
# /sbin/init.d/inetd start
Internet Services started


Some time problem with fire wall

U can check firewall port is open or not

telnet from customer pc to server

eg server ip 10.0.128.227

telnet 10.0.128.227 21

then u will get port is ready that means no problem with firewall .


Sajith ,u can ask to anish also

hi Noble,

thank yo for your ftpd -T is for client to request a timeout period. I have already set the timeout value for ftp server with ftp -t option. My question is ..is there any command or something to find out the effective ftp timout value?.

thanks ..
