reasonable? is there a a way to allow a Power server running IBMi 7.1 to
resume failed FTP sessions ?

I wonder if anybody can provide some advice here. Currently we run a
standard ftp session from one Power server to another each day. The files
are about 40GB in total but that's not an issue since it's in the DC and
the Power servers have GBe NICs.

We now have to do that transfer over 2600km on a shared 200Mbs link. We
haven't deployed a Power server in the remote location yet but in testing
with running ftp on a Windows 10 machine, we are experiencing the
occasional dropouts. We would ideally like to move to sftp but for various
reasons we cannot upgrade the source machine at this time.

FTP is not great protocol but we are stuck with it. We were thinking of
using something like WinSCP on the Windows client so that at least it could
resume a failed transfer. Well that is what is documented
