Many FTP clients send random commands such as REST 0, PWD, TYPE A, LIST, etc., to an FTP server to keep the session alive while the client is idle. EFT Server can attempt to block these schemes and automatically or forcibly disconnect a client.
EFT Server provides several methods, described below, to disconnect problem users.
Blocking Anti-Timeout Schemes (Set at Site Level only)
Disconnecting after a defined number of invalid commands (Set at Site Level only)
Disabling or Locking Out an Account after a Defined Number of Incorrect Login Attempts (Set at the User or User Setting Level only)
Disallowing the NOOP command (Set at the User or User Setting Level only)
Setting a maximum idle time limit (Set at the User or User Setting Level only)
Forcibly Logging a User Off the Server (Performed at the Server Level)
