: FTP connection timeout forces reconnect before every action I'm uploading and modifying files on my Apache 2 server via FileZilla and after I perform any action, the connection times out after

@Jennifer507

You are confusing the Apache web server with the servers FTP service, they are different services using a different communication protocol (FTP vs HTTP).
For example, when was the last time you went and read a wikipedia article, or performed a google search using Filezilla?
The keep alive directive is an Apache core directive for maintaining long lived HTTP (web content) connections and TCP connections that take advantage of the HTTP1.1 multiplexing features.
From the docs:


The Keep-Alive extension to HTTP/1.0 and the persistent connection feature of HTTP/1.1 provide long-lived HTTP sessions which allow multiple requests to be sent over the same TCP connection. In some cases this has been shown to result in an almost 50% speedup in latency times for HTML documents with many images.


Im not sure what is causing your timeout problem, but I wouldn't be looking into apache config to try and fix
