Closing the command channel will not affect a transfer in any way, unless you have something else set up wrong. In other words, the command channel is needed only to START the upload, once started the data channel will complete the upload. If the command channel closes in the meantime, what does it matter? I am trying to understand WHY this is a problem, as in my experience closing the idle command channel is a GOOD thing with no negative side-effects.
