FileZilla timeout settings
Introduction
FileZilla is a cross-platform FTP application that allows users to access server files without directly logging into the server interface. One of FileZilla’s key features is the Timeout function, which automatically disconnects the session after a specific period of inactivity (default is 20 seconds). Upon disconnection, users must re-enter their password to log in again. Depending on your needs, you may want to extend the timeout duration or set an instant disconnect.
