increase ftp timeout

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
Reza

See the man page for ftpd and inetd.conf - you should be able to add the ftpd option (-t timeout) to the inetd.conf entry for ftp. Of course, this could be considered a security issue at your company setting the timeout higher OR could possibly leave more ftp sessions connected at one time causing other issues.
