Good point. I think so. A colleague recently recompiled ecos for a project, to lower that timer value (was 20 to 30 seconds I think). Because with that high value, our FTP was not ready for a customer release. Maybe I should send a patch to ecos for it (to lower the timer value) because I believe that timer is needlessly high for an embedded RTOS.

The FTP server we use can only have 1 client at the same time, and had already problems with the number of sockets. We use FTP for a database upload, with a lot of files, and if the number of files is too big it finally crashes (because of that too high timer value).
