Re: FTP problem

["Patrick Townsend" <patownsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

There is a known bug in the Windows sockets implementation related to an out
of sequence FIN-ACK during an FTP session. Be sure you have all of the PTFs
applied on the AS/400 (IBM has a patch that provides a work-around). I don't
know if this is the cause of the problem, but is similar to one we saw
recently.
