ftpwebrequest when to use passive and timeout

Hi


I don't know much about passive flag. When should iset passive falg to true?

By default FTP web request timeout would be infinite. But i could see in some other posts, this property is set to 120 min or so.
My udnerstanding is that if the default value is infinite , do we need to set something?

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol for details on FTP active vs passive mode. In short, passive mode is used, when you are behind a firewall or proxy that blocks incoming connections.
