Article ID: 917549 - Last Review: July 26, 2006 - Revision: 1.1 FIX: The FtpGetFile function may not time out as expected when network connectivity with the FTP host is lost in Windows CE 5.0On This PageSYMPTOMSIn Microsoft Windows CE 5.0, the WinInet function FtpGetFile may not time out as expected when network connectivity with the FTP host is lost. The expected time-out period is set by providing a millisecond value for the INTERNET_OPTION_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT option type in a call to the InternetSetOption function. CAUSEThis problem occurs because WinInet functions, such as the FtpGetFile function, internally use a second thread to close the socket handle when a particular time-out period expires. When another thread closes a network socket handle, the recv function of the socket does not immediately return because of a code defect. This software update fixes this code defect.
