man page for ftpd shows:
-t TimeOut
Logs out inactive sessions after the number of seconds specified by the TimeOut variable. The default limit is 15 minutes (900 seconds). The timeout applies to both the data and the control connections.
ftpd is started in /etc/inetd.conf, so the option could be added there. I'm not sure where else the config should go.

Dear Experts
How is it possible to increase the ftp timeout. After 900 seconds my ftp connection from my PC to a Solaris 8 U60 Workstation is lost due to timeout limitation i guess on the workstation side.
Very Best regards

curvecpmessage
NaCl(1) General Commands Manual NaCl(1)
NAME
CurveCP -- Message-handling programs
SYNOPSIS
curvecpmessage [-q (optional)] [-Q (optional)] [-v (optional)] [-c (optional)] [-C (optional)] [-s (optional)] [prog]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the CurveCP commands.
A traditional UNIX-style server such as ftpd handles just one network connection, reading input from stdin and writing output to stdout. A
"superserver" such as inetd or tcpserver listens for network connections and starts a separate server process for each connection.
The CurveCP command-line tools have an extra level of modularity. The curvecpserver superserver listens for network connections. For each
connection, curvecpserver starts the curvecpmessage message handler; curvecpmessage then starts a server such as ftpd. Then ftpd sends a
stream of data to curvecpmessage, which in turn sends messages to curvecpserver, which encrypts and authenticates the messages and sends
them inside network packets. At the same time curvecpclient receives network packets, verifies and decrypts messages inside the packets,
and passes the messages to curvecpmessage; curvecpmessage sends a stream of data to ftpd. The same curvecpmessage tool is also used by
curvecpclient.
curvecpserver and curvecpclient can use programs other than curvecpmessage. Those programs can directly generate messages in the CurveCP
message format without talking to separate tools such as ftpd; or they can support a completely different protocol that reuses CurveCP's
cryptographic layer but transmits different kinds of messages.
