Timeout via SFTP
Expandrive , (OS X, v2.0.0) seems to have issues with its timeout compared to Transmit. It won\'t connect to my SFTP account on Slicehost and stops with a timeout error message.

If you run "sftp username@host" from the command line, what are your results, can you get in ok? How long does it take?
Thanks

Inappropriate?Jeff, it works, although there has always been a fair amount of lag on the server. I'd say maybe 30-45 seconds.
Transmit, and previous versions of Expandrive, deal with this fine, yet the new one doesn't. -
Inappropriate?Hi, Ben,
It seems I probably set the connection timeout a bit too aggressively. Right now, ExpanDrive will time out if the connection doesn't go through within twenty-five seconds, so if you're having 30-40 second lags, that would explain what you're seeing. I will increase the timeout period for our next update, which should hopefully take care of it. Sorry about that! -
Inappropriate?I've just upgraded my version and your time out still seemed to be too low. However, I investigated what might be the cause and resolved my server issues another way, (disabling ReverseDNS in SSH) and Expandrive works like a dream.
Thought you might want to know so you can offer a potential solution if anyone comes back at you with a similar issue.
