FTP sessions fairly frequently hang after transferring a file. The client is a Windows FTP client. Which Windows does not seem to make any difference. However, some FTP clients fail and others do not. The problem does not occur when the client is Unix. The originating network does not seem to make any difference. A packet sniff on the Unix side says that a FIN packet is sent at the end of the transfer but the Unix side does not see a FIN from the client. This is an intermittent problem; it generally manifests when transferring multiple files, the transfer stops after a few files. Any ideas what might be causing the problem?
