Hello,
I'm testing a new storage service, until now I was able to upload several JPA archives between 500 MB and 1 GB without timeout problems using the JPA "upload to remote server" feature

That being said, I want now to automate the process using cronjobs... FTP timeout can always be a problem or it depends on the remote server configuration?
Can I keep things like they are now, without splitting archives, or it's always better to split them to avoid problems in the future even if now my tests are working correctly?

Regards,
Niccolò

CRON jobs, provided that you are using the PHP CLI (Command Line Interface) binary, are not time sensitive, so there is no fear of timeout. Since that also worked from the back-end, which is very sensitive to timeouts, I can't see any reason why the same thing wouldn't work from the CRON interface.
