There are timeouts you can set - actually 2 of them - one for file transfer, one for current inactivity - I don't remember the syntax right now.

Yesterday, I was having consistent failures FTPing files from our V4R4

8 to 16 megabytes), then then show an "unable to send" message, then
continue to sit there a while, keyboard locked, before showing an "all
connections closed" message.

The current internet connection from our office is Cable (and we're
within walking distance of the local cable head-end, assuming they
didn't move the head-end out of the building and consolidate it with
some bigger head-end elsewhere). Not by my choice (and I still use
dial-up at home!) because the bandwidth is neither constant nor
anywhere near symmetrical.

I just successfully uploaded the file from my Mac.

Which tells me that the problem is most likely something with the V4R4 FTP client, rather than with the hosting service. The question remains:

Any suggestions from the AS/400 end?
