@metafaniel: The documentation is kept up-to-date all the time. That particular page was updated only three months ago. Though nothing about keepalives. Those options haven't changed in years. If you have a problem, we need to know more. You are probably looking at a wrong place. Please post a screenshot showing where are you looking at.

@martin: The documentation hasn't been updated in a long time... Those options are not present in the current version (v.5.2.x)
So the given option by zapping seems more plausible.

Also check the actual keepalives at:

Thanks, that seems to do the trick.

Maybe you can try this Preferences->Panels->Remote->Refresh remote panel every n sec.

I have version 5.19.4 (Build 11829 202`1-10-24. When I use it to transfer files to another
computer it keeps shutting down after a few minutes if I'm not using it which is irritating.
I think there is a way to stop this from happening but I can't find where. Could someone let me know how to do this? Thanks
