In command line FTP, how can I avoid being timed out when transferring a long file?
To avoid getting timed out during long file transfers using command
line FTP, turn on hashing by entering at the
ftp> prompt:
hash
FTP will then write a "#" for every packet transferred and thus prevent timing out due to inactivity while the file transfer is in progress.
Note: This won't prevent a transfer failure caused by network or server problems.
