Frequent logging out of File Manager


#1

I get logged out of File Manager very frequently while making any action like saving, opening a folder, or pressing any button. This happens very frequently and hence after I type a long piece of code and press the save button, i get logged out and I have to retype it all again.
And yeah, there’s only this one connection active. I’m am not connecting via any other FTP sources simultaneously.

Yeah the free service FTP has a short timeout on FTP, enough to browse folders continuously and quickly make very small edits but I’ve found it myself I’ll be updating a config file and save, and boom logged out - changes lost.

Try to make changes locally and upload and overwrite, the developers are aware of the timeout.

oh, that’s bad.

I wrote this topic because of what happened this time.
I logged into my account, opened file manager, opened the first folder and boom I was logged out. Hardly 5 seconds, which made me think it was a bug rather than a feature :joy:

I could suggest maybe a constant timeout (current system surely is buggy as I experience a very random timings of logging out) and maybe a timer that’s shows how much time until you’re logged out.

Hmm I could only suggest clearing browser data completely and logging into 000webhost.com > File Manager > Upload Files and hopefully the session stays long enough to perform a few actions.

I shall test for a few and then report back if it’s still unreliable.

Could try the repair feature from general settings on 000webhost.com and toggling FTP off then on.
