Traditionally FTP servers time out (or end) an FTP session if
there is no activity after a few minutes. Most command line FTP
clients take no steps to avoid this timeout. Some of the new
graphical FTP clients, however, make frequent read (or keepalive)
requests to keep the FTP sessions alive.
This option is fine for local network access and leased line
Internet browsing, but it can cause your remote ISDN connection
to stay up permanently.
If you use such FTP clients, be aware of this problem and close
down remote FTP connections once you have finished
transferring files.
