I'm using eft to transfer a pretty large zip file and it is getting disconnected.

zip file is about 3GB.
Is there a way to set no timeout

filename eft sftp "/Standing Order/Dropoff/&job..zip" host='xx@xxxx' DEBUG;

data _null_;
infile "/sasdata/Production/enterprise/data/data_dump/monthly/&job..zip" recfm=n;
input x $char1. @@;
file eft recfm=s;
put x $char1. @@;
run;


This gateway for AUTHORISED
use only!

Connected .

NOTE: sftp> cd "/Standing Order/Dropoff"

NOTE: The file EFTSAS is:
Filename=/Standing Order/Dropoff/datadump.zip

NOTE: Received disconnect from 10.101.1.21 port 22:11: Manually close SSH session.
Disconnected from 10.101.1.21 port 22
sftp>

Port timeouts are often set by server firewall rules. Check with your IT network folks to see if there are rules for port 22.

 

Also try the WAIT_MILLISECONDS option in case the timeout is performance-related.

For commercial managed file transfer applications like eft, the best apporach would be to approach the vendor for assistance.
