You can do the following: First, read "man ftpd", then use
the -t flag in /etc/ined.conf, for example:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -ll -t 60
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This will provide a timeout of 60 minutes. Clients _might_
request a lower timeout value, so check your client's settings
as well.
