IIRC setting the timeout explicitly on both ends (if you're using an rsync daemon) to the same value will cause some sort of heartbeat activity. Note also that an inferior firewall may also "forget" the connection if there is no traffic for a longer period of time. > Maybe setting --contimeout to some large value should help? No, I'm quite sure that has nothing to do with this; you _had_ a connection, which timed out. --contimeout is for the timeout for making the initial connection.
