re: losing an FTP connection

     Marty, regarding your question
     
     >We know you are using

     I can tell you this. For the process that we were discussing in the 
     shop yesterday,the 400 is the receiver and there are actually two 
     initiators.  One is a VAN in which we get our EDI transactions from.  
     The other is a UNIX system.  
     
     The crux of the problem we were having was, we knew, file contention.  
     It just happened to start a general discussion on how FTP would handle 
     a lost connection and brought to light some wrong impressions that 
     people had of how the FTP application worked in general.  A few of us 
     were correct in our stand, but none of us here are experts, and I 
     could find nothing explicit in the manuals to point to and say 'see, 
     there it is.'  Now I can get the 'losing sides' to honor the bet - 
     mmmm, donuts.
     
     thanks for the info,
     jw
