Description Once you log onto the FTP server, you set up an FTP connection. When the connection
is disrupted or aborted, the FTP server, however, cannot realize that if not notified and
maintains the connection all the same. To address this issue, you can set an
idle-timeout timer to have the FTP server disconnect if no command is received or/and
transmitted before the timer expires.
