Re: [twsocket] Aborting a File Transfer from FtpServer
Hi, Just wanted to know if there is a ready made option to stop a transfer midway. Now that you have cleared my doubts I will program accordingly.

The FTP server is usually non-interactive, it would not consider aborting a transfer part way through. There are no protocol commands for reverse ABORT, or indeed to confirm a transfer has successfully completed or been stopped part way through, the data connection is simply closed by the server. The server can decide not to start a transfer and return an error code instead, perhaps that is what you mean by abort? If the server PC was closing down, all sockets would simply close.

Re: [twsocket] Aborting a File Transfer from FtpServer
My Program has a Client Side and a Server Side. I have taken care that the Client side can abort a file transfer. Now I wanted to provide Abort on the Server Side as well. or Is this not they way it is done ?

The FTP server does not care how you stop a download, it can cope with the ABORT command or lost connection.
