Changing ftp client timeout?

[Patrick Baldwin]

I've got some users with Linux systems who are getting timeouts when 
trying to
connect to a busy ftp server.  Using Filezilla, I can connect just fine 
if I up the
timeout from 20 seconds to 60.  I've been trying to find out how to do 
this with
the native Linux ftp client (installing Filezilla isn't really an 
option), but all I
can find via Google is how to do this for the ftp server, which doesn't 
help.

Regards,
