Number of Connections and Used Ports
The maximum number of concurrent connections is three. If a user attempts to connect to the FTP server with which
three connections have been established, the user cannot log in and fails in connection. The default port for the FTP
server is 21. There is no measure provided to change the port.
The control port time-out is set to 300 seconds. You need to re-connect to the server if you have left the connection
for 300 seconds or more after logging in. The data port time-out is 60 minutes. If a data transmission takes more
than 60 minutes, the connection is automatically disconnected.
