Timeout Issues

Hello,

I am using WinSCP 5.5. I am trying to connect to a QNAP Server that is out of space. Because it is out of space, it is responding slowly to requests. When I connect through WinSCP, and try to access a folder, I get a message stating that the host has not communicated for 15 seconds, still waiting. If you click the abort button, it will close the connection. From what I researched about this issue, if I just leave it alone, it will eventually read the directory. However, my problem is there is an abort button that counts down 60 seconds, then automatically disconnects me. Is there a way to remove this countdown so that the directory eventually comes up? Let me know if you need more information.

I found out if I moved the mouse, the counter reset. If I moved the time Information message, or clicked in the text of the message, the abort counter disappears completely. Is this normal behavior? For right now, I will work with my workaround until I hear from you.

Thanks,

Yes, that's by purpose. Maybe there should be an explicit "cancel countdown" command too.
