Do you have an error message that FTP is generating? Which FTP program
are you using? Is the destination server a generic web host? They
might be quashing the connection purposefully.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi All,
I'm writing a python script for my Centos server which (among other
things), tries to FTP a large (7GB) archive image to another server
across the WAN.
My script calls the curl program to do the upload. Curl always seems
to fail after a few 100MB however.
Any ideas on how best to transfer this large file? I do not have SSH
access BTW so can't use scp.
Thanks :)
Sean

Personally, I would use wget -c <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ftp://file/to/download">ftp://file/to/download</a> for a
download that is likely to be interupted. The "-c" flag will allow wget
to pick up where it left off, so running wget -c <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ftp://file/to/download">ftp://file/to/download</a>
will only get the needed bytes.
