Keep Godaddy session from timing out?

[stantheman1976]

I had some issues with sharing files on my Godaddy web space which were answered in another thread. Now I'm trying to upload files to my Godaddy FTP and it times out after 10-15 minutes. It's a standard setting for Godaddy to help prevent hacking if you forget to log out but if I'm not sitting at my computer refreshing my session every 10 minutes I get cut off.

I tried using FileZilla and set it to send a keep alive command. I thought it was working but after about 40 minutes it disconnected but still showed the file transferring. I haven't tried re-uploading the particular file again yet because I wanted to know if there is any kind of solution first.

It will really suck to have the space and bandwidth available to me if I can't even upload a larger file successfully.

it shouldn't time out during an active session while things are uploading/downloading. it's never happened to me there using filezilla. the only time i had an aborted upload was when comcast crapped out one day and started giving me only 4/kbps upload speed and occasionally dropping to zero altogether. try checking your upload service at this website to see what kind of quality it's giving you. anything under 75% qos and you may need to contact your isp to fix your connection.

You also might try start -> run -> netsh int reset all (this resets your TCP/IP) and start -> run -> tcpip /flushdns (this will help if it happens to be a DNS issue)

It was uploading at a consistent speed. It was just strange because the file was still transferring but the session was reported disconnected. I'll try it again in a few and report.

So I uploaded a 340MB file last night and the FTP session did say it was disconnected after a while but the file transferred successfully.

I use Google Chrome.

To solve this problem I installed an Extension called Page Refresh

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hmooaemjmediafeacjplpbpenjnpcneg

It shows an Refresh icon to each Tab adress bar, that alows us to select the automatic refresh time for each tab.

So,
1 ) I log in Godaddy then I set this page Tab to refresh every 2 minutes.
2 ) I open godaddy in a new Tab an do all the operations I need trough this other tab (while the first one keeps refreshing every 2 minutes).

Hope that helps.
