Timeout

Question

Hi,
I have one problem, (i am working with VB.net)
I am working with Threads
Each thread will access the FTP and check for the files in the directory and compare the date, if it is required then it will download the files. So suppose the files are not recuired and there are a lot of files in it, then it won't download for some mintes. So after some time i am getting an error like "Timeout (900 seconds) and connect is closed" then it will show the error like "Transaction not found". But actually i am accessing the ftp for getting the Directory information, so how come it will fail the Timeout?
How I can solve this?
Do I have to increase the Timeout?
If I disconnect the FTp and connect it agin, it will be time consuming, so please give me some solutions for this issue.

This is a server-side timeout - the server is closing the connection on you because for that particular connection, you haven't been doing anything.
