If you have login access to the remote computer, you can put C-Kermit on it
and use Kermit protocol rather than FTP. Surprisingly, perhaps, Kermit
protocol is way more powerful, configurable, and customizable than FTP, and
naturally you can set timeout and retry limits for protocol actions, and
hundreds of other parameters besides. You can conduct Kermit protocol
sessions over serial connections, Telnet connections, Rlogin connections,
or with an Internet Kermit Service Daemon on the remote end:

The connection can either be in the clear or secure and encrypted.
