I have a problem in ftp synchronization. I have Robotask v. 5.2I have surveillance cams that generate pictures that is stored. Every 12h the pictures are backed-up and then the files are deleted. However, the ftp deletion process times out with a large number of files.For around 10 000 files the deletion process works. When around 35 000 files it times out with error 12002 as a result:FtpGetFile fails with message: (12002) The operation timed out.An easy way around this is of cause to backup 4 or 5 times per 24h to decrease the number of files to be deleted. For several reason I would like to keep it at every 12h. Is there a way to make the FTP deletion command to not time out? There are 2 topics dealing with this error, but there are no answers to the questions.Looking forward to your reply!Regards,HenrikFortaleza, Brazil

Try to use SSL FTP actions.
This plugin have similar functionality but another engine. SSL FTP action support plain FTP too.

We'll investigate the problem.
