Do you mean you're able to pass a timeout greater than 20 seconds to the Windows command line FTP client? In any case, there's nothing much we can do: if the TCP stack returns the connection broken (timed out), we can't do much. On Linux, you can increase the sysctls I mentioned in my previous message, but that's it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18907> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
