Ben, Thanks for your response. I've been looking at the FTP RFCs and this appears to be quite a contentious (and complex) area. I just may be stuck with starting over until I can get it right on a single try. > > The FTP server on releng4.freeBSD.org responds to a REST command with a 502 > > status but the text seems to imply that I can resume an aborted transfer > > for TYPE I files (which the .iso image is). > are you sure your FTP client has done a "TYPE I" before issuing the > "REST" command? The client has NOT done a TYPE I before issuing the REST command.

I thought there was a "reget" command but I'm not sure, maybe > that's only in Unix command line FTP programs (but I thought the MS one was > based on those). I'm pretty sure. Here's the output of the help command (Windows ME, BTW): C:\WINDOWS>ftp ftp> help Commands may be abbreviated. Commands are: ! delete literal prompt send ? debug ls put status append dir mdelete pwd trace ascii disconnect mdir quit type bell get mget quote user binary glob mkdir recv verbose bye hash mls remotehelp cd help mput rename close lcd open rmdir ftp> > Or you could try another FTP client... ws_ftp is supposed to be good and > there's a freeware edition, check Tucows. I tried ws_ftp and it wasn't any better. Still couldn't resume the partial transfer. I'm pursuing this further (looking at more clients). FTP Voyager is what I have but they want more money to upgrade to the latest version and their tech support doesn't seem to understand the problem at all. As far I can tell, the latest version has the same problem anyway. Again, thanks for the response. I'll keep flogging away until I figure it out or get too frustrated to continue <G>.
