I've been trying to ftp some graphics files from my UNIX account on one university computer to an account on another UNIX system. I am able to make the connection via ftp and the file transfer begins in binary mode. Instead of the usual seconds to a minute or so, the transfer churns along for 10-15 minutes and then is abruptly terminated each time with the following message: netin: Connection reset by peer 426 Data connection: broken pipe The file on my other system is present but is truncated to vary- ing sizes each time. One was a GIF file and I was able to view the portion transferred so what it does transmit is not corrupted. I also tried logging onto a networked DOS machine so I could simply use DOS copy to copy the file from my UNIX directory to a DOS floppy. This attempt resulted in "0 files copied." When I tried copying several files with XCOPY I got the message "locking violation." Our UNIX consultant couldn't help. The local UNIX people in the lab couldn't help. I'm trying to transfer these graphics files so I can conduct satellite image analysis on a DOS system and compare the results with those from IPW running on the UNIX{zO ma- chine. Any help would be MOST appreciated! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ William W.
