GoAnywhere times out after 60 minutes, can I change that?

Post by Support_Julie »

Yes, the browser session timeout is stored in the /*installation directory*/WebRoot/WEB-INF/web.xml file.

Find the following line that is typically towards the end of the file:

<session-timeout>60</session-timeout>

Change the timeout to the desired number of minutes, save the file and restart GoAnywhere.
