Suggestion: Customize Keep Alive

#1 Post by BlueBearr » 2005-04-25 13:49

First, thanks for an excellent product!

I ran into an issue with Keep Alive. I have a server that uses a token-based password that changes every minute. Because Keep Alive uses PWD as one means of keeping the connection open, my account was eventually disabled because FileZilla kept sending an expired password to the server.

Of course, I've turned Keep Alive off now, but my suggestion is to have some way of selecting what commands will be used for Keep Alive, or at least to make PWD optional.

That's it. Thanks again!

The PWD command is used to retrieve the current directory. The keep alive commands should not have any negative side effects.

pwd = print working directory

pwd != password

Dang, my bad. :oops:

Maybe I need to go back to a CLI ftp client... nah!

Must have been the Retry setting that locked me out.

Well, thanks for a cool product.
