KeepAliveTime parameter in the registry

[Guest Rachel L Chipman]

Can someone please help me understand the KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval

parameters that can be added to the registry of a W2K3 Server

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters ??

 

We have an FTP server in which some connections are being closed after 2

hours. In doing research on the FTP software, we are being told to add the

KeepAliveTime parameter to the registry to resolve the issue. I need help in

understanding what this does.

 

Thank you.
