Its possible that a client can rollback some part of the file incase the end (where the transfer was interrupted) is corrupt. Some clients do a REST to eg. 4kb less than the current size. I think it makes more sense to set the position and size when the transfer begins following a REST command.

It is likely that the start of the local file is no more the same as the copy on the server and the whole transfert is corrupted. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] The author for the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arno Garrels" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ICS support mailing" <twsocket@elists.org> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 9:18 PM Subject: Re: [twsocket] FTP resuming transfers > Francois PIETTE wrote: >>> I reworked the streams stuff in both FTP C/S today and >>> fixed some bugs, everything was tested sucessfully with >>> 64-bit streams.
