Retry Strategy

A retry strategy consists of how many times SecureFX will try to reinitiate a connection
A data path or circuit between two computers over a phone line, network cable, or other media. after it has been lost, and how long SecureFX will wait between those attempts.

By default, SecureFX will try to reconnect 20 times, waiting 10 seconds between each attempt. However, it does take SecureFX up to three minutes to realize that a connection has been lost before it begins retrying the connection. This means that if you are transferring five files and the network drops the connection on the second file, three minutes later SecureFX will attempt to reconnect. If it fails (leaving 19 retry attempts), it will wait 10 seconds and try again (and so on). If it is able to reconnect within the 20 retry attempts, SecureFX will restart the transfer with the second file and the retry attempt count is reset to 20. Any other disruption in the connection will cause SecureFX to begin the retry strategy again.

You can also specify the retry attempts and retry delay from the command line using the following command strings.

/RetryCount <count> where the variable count can be replaced by either an integer value or by the word infinite (if you would like to configure "relentless retries").

/RetryDelay <seconds> where the variable seconds is replaced by an integer value.
