There is no way to prevent an FTP client from sending any particular  
command.  If Rumpus were to return an error on the NOOP command, many  
clients would probably just terminate the session, so that's not  
really an option, either.  Also, even if Rumpus did disable NOOP, the  
client could just issue some other command to reset the inactivity  
timer.  Fetch, for example, uses "PWD", which is a mandatory command  
an FTP server must reply to.

Unfortunately, the only good solution to this is to educate users that  
they shouldn't leave FTP clients connected 24/7.
