I'm currently using several FreeBSD boxes to test file transfers to routers under test. The problem that I'm having is that if a call drops, and the route is deleted from the routing table, the FTP client just zones out, waiting for the transfer to complete (I had one hang for ~ 2 days). Is there any way to make it so if a route drops (ie - ping reports "No route to host") to get FTP to realize it's route is down, and abort the transfer? Thanks. -Brian
