DW MX 2004 FTP problem

FTP connection stays on and i don't want it to

[The Cricketer]

I am in the belief that FTP connections are supposed to have a time out after a certain period of inactivity.

When I used DW MX and accidently left an FTP connection open after use, after a while it would disconnect automatically. This is what I want.

Having upgraded to MX 2004, every FTP connection on all my sites just stay open no matter how long I may leave it. Has anyone got a solution to this problem?

Cheers

i have to say i hadnt noticed it ever timing out (which i prefer - i used to hate when mx interrupted to show the disconnection dialog) but under the prefernces > site there is a an option to set the timeout time (i think its at 30 minutes by default)

<edit> as a test i set mine to timeout after 1 minute, and its still connected after ten - you may have found a bug </edit>

Same here, it doesn't disconnect after the required time. mmmmmmm. Maybe it is a bug.

I haven't used MX2004 yet, but shouldn't you be able to set the timeout in your site settings?

[The Cricketer]

That's what benihana just said. We have changed the FTP timeout in the site's settings, but it seems to be ignored.

ack. sorry about that.
