Avoiding direct reconnect after a connection is lost

Hi
How can I avoid a direct reconnect after a lost connection? FlashFXP shall wait a pre-defined time, 65 seconds.
The reason for this is that I get banned from the FTP server for hammering.
At this time, I can only set to immediately reconnect (bad) or no reconnect (bad).

Please tell me a solution.... (I don't wanna regret my purchase...)

Thx, Shloon

general tab in prefs, "Connect retry delay"

This is part of the restore broken transfers feature, when connection is lost, the connection is immediately re-connected, I find it strange that this would be considered hammering. As it's only once, and only if connection was lost.

If the reconnect attempt fails then the retry delay takes effect.

Hi,

bigstar has exactly understand my problem (MxxCon not :-)
OK, so I have to discuss my problem with the FTP server's admin...

Thank you.
