The process on the sending machine eventually times out; but the process on the receiving machine will sit there forever. Once we learned that the problem could be avoided by keeping the file list small; I decided I would wait for smarter folk to figure it out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kris Kennaway" To: "Eric W.
