DW MX 2004 FTP problem

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

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)
ben
<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?

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