As this is my first post on this site, please excuse any gaps in
understanding...

 

It seems that data still in the buffer is not getting written out when
transferring large files in ASCII mode that encounters a timeout.
Currently with ipswitch this behavior is not observed.  Here are our
steps:

 

1.	Set timeout on proftpd for 10 minutes
2.	Set ASCII mode
3.	Start transferring large file in ASCII mode
4.	Timeout occurs and there is still data in buffer 
5.	REST in ASCII mode is not supported and data in buffer is not
written out and lost.  

 

Is there an existing fix out there that changes step 4 so that the data
in the buffer is flushed and written out?  If not I can attempt to add
this.
