FTP Timeout / Retry options?
Hi there!
as I continue testing SSpy in a remote location I am testing SFTP via satellite to our own servers in the bustling metropolus of Oakland California. However to get there SSPy must jump up to a satellite peering through giant redwoods, down to Arizona, and then through the whistling western wastelands to Oakland.
as a result I have some long 'transaction' times.
and I get many timeouts: ( edit )
01/22/2017 16:27:44: Error communicating with the FTP server "XXXXXXXXXX.com". 4.0.10,1320,88794 FTP general error. ssh: Could not resolve hostname xxxxxxx.xxx.xxx: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Connection closed
is there something I can tweak to allow for longer round trips? a retry thread
I am also getting truncated upload files and occasional core dumps, but that's another kettle of fish. I haven't yet tied the timestamps together to see if they're related. the core dumps are always for IO threads.

We've made some improvements, and the latest beta version of SecuritySpy (currently 4.1b2) will now re-try uploads up to 5 times before giving up. This applies to incomplete uploads too - if the connection drops while uploading, SecuritySpy will try again. Please install it and let me know how you get on.

Thank you will do. I'll follow up in a couple of days. This is sort of an edge condition.
