    I'm not sure it would make much difference to what you're trying to achieve as TX should try to re-use connections once they are opened (assuming the parameters are identical).

    Would recommend at least using the IdleFTP parameter to prevent FTP connections "dying" after a while (and so preventing your maps from failing on using a dead connection), e.g. IdleFTP=10.

    Avoid using the PUT command in this case as FTP failures are not always reported back to the map. Use the RUN command instead (if you're not using an output card adapter directly that is) and set your output card to commit on card.
