FTP Curiosity

[Richard Harrison <richard_harrison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Kids!

I've read and reread the Postel & Reynolds RFC (959) "re" FTP and I
still stand clueless...any help will be much appreciated.

After big file transfers (PUT's of about 300MB) which appear to
terminate successfully (return code 226), the following QUIT elicits
no response at all.  I'm expecting a return code of 221 or 500
(although I see no excuse for the latter, given the preceding "good"
response about the transfer), but I get "nada."  The problem does NOT
occur for smaller (say, 50 to 100MB transfers).  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Richard

P.S. The file IS transferred properly as indicated by the return code
from the PUT command, although it takes reconnecting to discover
this.  I.e., the QUIT appears to work, but there's no return code.
The problem being that my application sits patiently (infinitely so),
waiting for a return code which is not forthcoming.
