TimeoutSession [ seconds ["user"|"group"|"class" expression]]
Default
None
Context
server config, <VirtualHost>, <Global>, <Anonymous>
Module
mod_auth
Compatibility
1.2.6rc1 and later
The TimeoutSession directive sets the maximum number of seconds a control connection between the proftpd server and an FTP client can exist after the client has successfully authenticated. If the seconds argument is set to 0, sessions are allowed to last indefinitely (the default).
The optional parameters are used to restrict the session time limit only to specific users. If "user" restriction is given, then expression is a user-expression specifying to which users the time limit applies. Similarly for the "group" restriction. For the "class" restriction, the expression is simply the name of connection class for whom the time limit will apply. Note that use of the "user" or "group" classifiers within an <Anonymous> context will not make much sense.
Example: # set a draconian session time limit TimeoutSession 60 # set session time limits for everyone except a few privileged users TimeoutSession 300 user !bob,!dave,!jenni
