Everyone. We've complained enough. We need to be sure and let PowWeb know they did this one right!

I just raised the FTP idle timeout to 15 minutes on all the FTP servers.

Wow! You are wonderful! I don't know how to thank you enough. This is a wonderful move that is sure to get positive praise from just about everyone!

The 5-minute FTP time out was a royal pain. Wednesday night I helped a lady from these forums reload a 320,000 record database, and get her site back up. With the 72,000 record mySQL limit per hour (which I can live with if there is not a better way) there was a lot of FTP work. It went on most of the night, and part of next morning. Everytime I stopped to edit a file on my PC from her site, FTP would time out. Like BB&T, I love the community here and just enjoy helping others.

This upgrade to 15 minutes on the FTP timeout is the best thing that has happened in a long time, and something that DID affect me personally. Lots!

PowWeb -- you have earned back at least 50% of the points you lost over the load-balancing problems, subdomain reworking, etc. I knew I made the right choice to go with PowWeb. There IS a God in heaven that hears our prayers!

FTP has been moved off of the legacy servers and onto new FTP servers - did the idle timeout revert back?

Actually, I thought it was better to be 5 minutes anyway.

IMHO the 15 mins. works better for me. I know on ftp05 its 5 mins when I use it. I figured Powweb just forget to set it to 15 mins. when they changed the servers.
