# What is the Idle Timeout setting for?

Idle Timeout is the amount of time that a port is held open with no outgoing traffic. Once the reader opens a connection to an FTP server, the reader keeps that connection open as long as traffic occurs.

If no traffic occurs for the set Idle Timeout period, the connection is closed. This can be useful if an FTP transfer only happens seldom and the network overhead for keeping the connection open is not desired.

You need to check Enable Idle Timeout first to be able to set the idle timeout.
