I means that the handling server process crash, not OS or proftpd daemon
itself.

but we'll assume those are results of connection failures or drop, not a
result of ABOR command:

http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directives/linked/config_ref_DeleteAbortedStores.html

 The DeleteAbortedStores directive controls whether ProFTPD deletes partially
 uploaded HiddenStores files if the transfer is stopped via the ABOR command
 rather than a connection failure.
