Hi,

I had a problem with all of the above solutions when
receiving a file being sent from a VMS box to Solaris
via ftp.

At times the ftp process 'paused' for so long, everything
thought it was finished, then it would start up again.

In the end we got the VMS guys to send a 'DONE' file
after the data file had been sent.

This always worked for us, but...
