Specifying Time CuteFTP Waits after a Transfer Completes
You can configure CuteFTP to keep a session open for a specific number of seconds after a transfer is complete. Leaving data connections open allows more transfers to use the same connection, avoiding the need to open new connections. After a file is successfully transferred, CuteFTP does not close the corresponding connection (session) to the server during the next 30 seconds (by default) in case there are more pending file transfers in the queue. If transfers are waiting, CuteFTP will reuse this connection for them. If there are no transfers waiting, then the connection (session) will be closed in 30 seconds. The Log Window (View > Show Panes > Queue & Log Pane) displays a list of open sessions to the Site. For 30 seconds after files are transferred, the Log Window will still show the session in this window. After 30 seconds, the session is closed except for one browse window. You can change this timeout to 0 - 1000 seconds.
