# `--max-time`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Maximum time in seconds that you allow each transfer to take. This is useful
|
||
|
|
for preventing your batch jobs from hanging for hours due to slow networks or
|
||
|
|
links going down. This option accepts decimal values (added in 7.32.0).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you enable retrying the transfer (--retry) then the maximum time counter is
|
||
|
|
reset each time the transfer is retried. You can use --retry-max-time to limit
|
||
|
|
the retry time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The decimal value needs to provided using a dot (.) as decimal separator - not
|
||
|
|
the local version even if it might be using another separator.
