Idling is not the same as hammering. Hammering is the attempts made in a certain amount of time. When using cuteftp, go to global settings, and ensure you are not attempting to connect over and over too quickly. Most servers expect 65+ seconds between attempts, and make the attempts a max of 3-5.
Idle settings are done by the actual server - this is to ensure that people do not hold a connection when it is no longer needed. I use 300 seconds personally.
Hope this helps.
