These things happen. The partial file remains. Best way to do it is to do an ls -l on the transferred file on the host node then do it in ftp (to an output file), compare the sizes, and if they match you're golden, and if they don't, retry it.
HTH, Bambi. -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 10:04 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I am FTPing exports in binary mode as a part of my backup/recovery plan. What happens when the network connection is lost between FTP client and server while a file is being transferred? Will an incomplete file appear on the FTP server or would the FTP server sense the disconnect and remove the partially transferred file?
