Can somebody help me??? I've been trying to use ftp to "get" files from Simtel20. It works fine with small files, both ascii and binary. But large files appear to hang-up. I get "Auto logout - job idle too long" after about 10-15 minutes. In these cases the file left in my directory has a length of 65,535 bytes. Very suspicious, that's 2^16 - 1! I'm running ftp on a SUN system (UNIX) using TENEX mode. I tried binary with identical results. The files I'm trying to pick up are things like suprdos2.lbr,1 or zcpr33.lbr,3 or z80dos10.lbr,1 .... the good stuff! What am I doing wrong??? Thanks.
