ssh is not an option for us. There is no ssh client built into Windows.

Have you tried ssh? I use it exclusively. It is easy to setup to use without passwords....

Filer: secureadmin setup ssh (answer questions, usually leaving defaults is fine)

If you would like, also setup ssl: secureadmin setup ssl (answer questions, defaults are probably not good)

secureadmin enable all (this turns on ssh1, ssh2 and ssl-> filerview will now work via ssl)

On your unix/linux client, setup all your keys: ssh-keygen -t dsa -N '' ssh-keygen -t rsa -N '' ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -N ''

Go to your home directory. cat *.pub >> /tmp/my.pub

Mount the root of the filer. go to the etc directory. mkdir -p sshd/root/.ssh cd sshd/root/.ssh cp /tmp/my.pub authorized_keys chmod 600 authorized_keys chown root authorized_keys

now you should be able to: ssh root@filer date and it should give you the date. If this is the first time running ssh to the filer, it will ask to confirm/create an entry in your ~.ssh/known_hosts file.

Yes, console and telnet timeouts are both set for 10 minutes. However, we have telnet disabled.

do you have autologout set on the filers?

rsh <$filer> options autologout

this should tell you. The default for console and telnet is normally 60 minutes but you may have changed that in the past?

I am trying to perform an ndmpcopy operation using rsh from a Windows client. I am able to initiate the ndmpcopy fine and transfer actually starts. However, after EXACTLY 5 minutes, the rsh times out with a "connection reset by peer" message. Anyone know of any way to get around this?

When I've seen similar problems in the past, the culprit was some firewall (or load-balancer) between my host and the filer, that was aging out "long-lived" TCP sessions.
