Problem with changing timeout in batch-mode

Hello,

I want to change the timeout for a stored session, but it doesn't work.
I use the following command to start WINSCP in batch-mode:

WinSCP.exe /timeout=120/console /script=script.txt /log=winscp.log

The log-file says, that timeout is changed to 60 seconds, but after 20 seconds, a timeout occours.

Maybe someone could help me.

Thanks a lot.
Regards, Peter

First you should use -timeout switch of the open command in your script.txt instead of /timeout on command line.

But anyway, in 4.3.5 the /timeout (nor open -timeout) does not affect connection attempt timeout. This was added in 5.0.x beta only. The fix is also backpropagated to 4.3.6 which is due for release in few days.
