maybe I'm misunderstanding your situation then. If the file transfer is taking more than 6 hours; why not keep increasing the timeout value until the file transfer no longer times out? AFAIK it doesn't matter whether we're talking about one file or lots of files; if timeout is killing your backup before it's done, try increasing the backup. the inefficiencies of not being able to resume are another matter; but this at least might get you backed up. :) -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
