I can't believe that SunOS 5.7 does not support REST command. I move the file on a FreeBSD box, it seems working (the [R]esume does appear!). One more question, it seems that I can use control+C to abort the transfer, ncftp can still resume (its man page say it does this based on file size) next time I do a get. Is this safe?
