Problem with KeepAliveInterval

The KeepAliveInterval is not working.

What is the dimension of KeepAliveInterval (ms, s, min)?

When i used:
KeepAliveInterval := 3600;
or
KeepAliveInterval := 999999;
has no reaction.

The maximum when i measuring is ~170 seconds.

Regards,
Gregory

The unit is seconds.

And why can change the KeepAliveInterval to a greater value?

e.g. KeepAliveInterval := 3600;

Regards,
Gregory

I have download the new version but not working.
If KeepAliveInterval greater than 240 seconds then no NOOP Command is sent.

My Tests:
KeepAliveInterval := 60; -> o.k.
KeepAliveInterval := 120; -> o.k.
KeepAliveInterval := 180; -> o.k.
KeepAliveInterval := 240; -> o.k.
KeepAliveInterval := 300; -> not o.k.
KeepAliveInterval := 360; -> not o.k.
KeepAliveInterval := 400; -> not o.k.

Regards,
Gregory

Please post the log from the log file (pFTP->LogFile->File).

I have make 2 test.

KeepAliveInterval := 180s is o.k.
