When I'm in telnet the server logs my out after say 5 minutes.
I want to disaable that for the admin.

Where can I do that?

thank you...

He he, I just turned it on for everybody, including admin. When I'm not working on it, it's no use leaving the door wide open.
But I can't remember where I did it :(

I'm not sure you can disable the timeout completely (I'm sure someone here knows), although I don't think it'd be a very good idea even if you could. What you *can* do is add the following lines to your /etc/proftpd.conf file:

TimeoutNoTransfer 1200
TimeoutIdle 1200

1200 is the number of seconds before the auto log-off. Change it to whatever you want.
