Property Value

A value, in seconds, representing the period of time after which an FTP operation should timeout. By default, this property is set to 30 seconds.

Remarks

During a file transfer, the timeout value doesn't specify the time it must take for the file to be completely transferred. Rather, it specifies the maximum amount of time one iteration of the internal copy loop can take.

One iteration of the copy loop consists of the following:

Read data from the local source file stream
Trigger the FtpClient.FileTransferStatus event, if applicable
Write the data to the destination network stream

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
