Idle Timeout Protection
Most servers will disconnect you if you are inactive for a certain period of time (the duration varies from a couple of seconds to a few minutes). Idle Timeout Protection will intermittently notify the server that you are still connected. This will help prevent you from being disconnected.
To switch Idle Timeout Protection on or off:
- From the Tools menu, choose Options.
- On the General tab, check or uncheck Use Idle Timeout Protection.
- Click OK.
Notes
- You should only stay connected to a server for the time it takes you to perform all your tasks as many system administrators disapprove of users staying connected to a server for a prolonged period of time without performing any action.
