System: NetBSD netbsd 1.5 NetBSD 1.5 (netbsd) #7: Sat Oct 27 16:24:08 BST 2001 root@netbsd:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/netbsd i386


>Description:
 Using the 'proxy' command to setup a third party transfer (FXP) between two
FTP server work fine, however, the FTP client appears to believe that the 
server(s) are not responding (although they are transfering happily) and
eventually times-out and issues "ABOR" command.


>How-To-Repeat:
 Set up a third party transfer that takes longer than the default server
timeout period.

>Fix:
 Make client aware that a transfer is in progress during third-party and
stop the timeout counter from occuring. Or atleast supply a command or
command line argument to disable timeouts.
