Dear martin
Thank you for early reply.

If the timeout setting value on Windows OS API is 21 seconds,
What value is set on WinSCP (for example, 100sec, 5sec), does it always time out at 21 sec?

Hello, I have two questions about WinSCP.

I set the server timeout setting to 15 seconds(default value).
But, actual time was 21 seconds(*1).
1. Why is the connection timeout set to 21 seconds even though it is set to 15 seconds?
2. What does mean "Timeout: 15sec" in logging message?
