Topic: set FTP idle time

[Tobias]

Hello.

I wonder how I should do if I want to change the idle-time-settings from now ap 3 min to something about 5 min or more, for FTP users.
I fond this information but as I still stays on the newbie stage I would be very pleased if someone helped me out!

Can someone translate this into instruktions?

#> echo "TimeoutIdle 600" >> 05Timeout
#> echo "TimeoutNoTransfer 900" >> 05Timeout
#> echo "TimeoutStalled 3600" >> 05Timeout
#> /etc/e-smith/expand-template /etc/proftpd.conf
#> /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart


The numbers above are the defaults, you may change them to any value you wish.  The values are seconds.

Hope this helped,
Nathan
