Use -timeout=30 as parameter to the open command.

Can't change timeout via script

This is probably just a boneheaded issue, but I'm having a terrible time changing the timeout.

I'm using WinSCP ver 4.2.7 (build 758) on WinXP 5.1.2600 SP3.

I'm calling the exe from a Perl script using
system("$path./WinSCP.exe /timeout=20 /console /script=upload.txt /log=C:\\log.txt / hostkey=XXXXX")

The log file looks like this:
