I have a friend who is trying to upload a large file across the Internet
to my 4.7-STABLE box, but the transfer keeps stalling in the
neighbourhood of 350MB.  I'm using the default ftpd.  My ftpd.log
doesn't really show much.  However, it is interesting to note that just
after the transfer stops the log does show a failed ftp login attempt
from the remote host.  The message on my friends side is something to
the effect of "connection closed by remote host."  Another strange thing
is that long after the transfer has stopped I still show an active ftpd
process for the upload, as if my FreeBSD machine still thinks that
connection is up and is waiting for more data.  The remote side is an MS
Win2000 box.  He has tried uploading the file with two different ftp
clients with the same result.  I have seem flaky ftp behaviour between
FreeBSD and MS Windows in the past, but I suppose that this could be an
issue with my Cisco 678 CPE.  Has anyone seen anything like this, or
have any ideas about where to start looking?

Thanks!
Nathan
