I may be on the wrong track again, but anyway I can't get rid
of the thought about "not enough TCP ports" available.

- You define the ephemeral port range in TCPIP's profile
- Each transfer of a file needs a new port.
- A TCP connection stays in Close-Wait state for some time
  (2 minutes?) after the close, so the port is still blocked

Too many file transfers in a short time and too small an
empeheral port range might lead to no port available.

Glad if someone corrects me if I'm mixing up things again.
