Hello Folks @ 3000-l, RE: FTP open command (FTP/iX's 50 Sin's /?;~) Here is a quick update on an old 3000-l thread: ---------- Just a quick note for those folks who mentioned that FTP does not time out on a bogus IP address: ftp 99.99.99.99 What I found was it actually was timing out, but after 10 iterations of the configured TCP timers. ---------- This is fixed in FTPGDN1 6.0, FTPGDN0 6.5 and FTPGDM9 7.0. These are Beta Test patches which can be picked up at the HP Response Center as per: SR: 8606-231617 (6.0, 6.5, 7.0) "Connection timed out" - too long timeout on OPEN by IP address.
