DB and sftp Timeout

[Mephistus]

I do have a VPS running Windows Server 2008, but i'm experiencing issues with timeout.

If I stabilish a connection to my DB, and stand like, 1 minute idle, the connection closes itself, that happens with sftp, ftp or DB connection, I think this is possible a misconfiguration in my OS.

There's any way of extending timeout for this services? or disable it at all?

Thanks.

Are you running any sort of firewall?

[Mephistus]

Nope. Firewall is disabled

What is the exact error you're seeing? What are the two endpoints involved -- are they both on VDSes?

for example, i'm acessing the DB remotely, but I don't want it to disconnect after every every 1 minte idle. I just want it to keep the connection alive.

The DB is on the VDS and i'm acessing it remotely from my computer using DBMS software.

Some ISPs and routers time out connections when they shouldn't. You might try bypassing your router temporarily as part of your investigation.

Your software may also have a keep-alive option in it to help with this (PuTTY does, for instance).

Thanks for the tip. Although I couldn't figure out about some router / ISP timeout, I have configured all my software with a keep-alive option. That worked just fine.
