How can I increase the Transfer Session Timeout?

Question

How can I increase the Transfer Session Timeout? The default 1800 seconds (30 minutes) limit is not long enough.

Answer

You can increase the Transfer Session Timeout length via the Transfer Tool interface for each individual transfer you perform. For more information please refer to the Advanced section of our Transfer Tool documentation:

If you prefer to increase this setting permanently, that is also possible via the Tweak Settings interface. This setting is known as "Number of seconds an SSH connection related to an account transfer may be inactive before timing out" in the Tweak Settings interface. For more information, please see the Tweak Settings documentation:
