max servers
Configures the maximum number of FTP servers that can be started within any 60 second interval. If this limit is reached, the system waits two minutes before trying to start any more servers.
Product

Privilege

Syntax
max servers count
count
Default: 40
Specifies the maximum number of servers that can be spawned in any 60-second interval. count must be an integer from 1 through 100.
Usage
Set the number of servers to tune the system response as a heavily loaded system may need more servers to support the incoming requests.
The converse would be true as well in that a system can benefit by reducing the number of servers such that FTP services do not cause excessive system impact to other services.
Example
max servers 50
timeout
Configures the client idle timeout before an FTP session is automatically closed.
Product
All
Privilege
Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax
timeout seconds
seconds
Default: 900
Specifies the number of seconds of inactivity before an FTP session is automatically closed. seconds must be an integer from 10 through 86400.
Usage
Adjust the session timeout to fine tune the system. FTP session resources can be released sooner to support additional requests by adjusting the timeout to a smaller value.
Example
timeout 300
