    It tells you how many seconds a client can be idle for before it is disconnected. Dec 5, 2014 at 8:00
  • ok. so it's the CLIENT idle time. wouldn't that alwasy kick in first before the no TX time? and ... BTW - this question is for our ftp server, for our company. so it's a pretty relevant sys admin topic. Yes? (we have 50+ companies ftp'ing their data to us every few mins)

  • Well, if it's less than the "no transfer timeout", it would kick in first, yes. The "no transfer timeout" setting is used to prevent connection keep-alive techniques that rely on, for example sending a LIST command every so often. Regarding the topicality of the question, you are free to edit it (such as adding your comment into the question), which will put it in a review queue for community members to vote on whether to reopen it or not, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. I wouldn't have put it on hold unless I was confident the community would have eventually. But, you're free to try. Dec 5, 2014 at 11:06
