Brad, any chance you have a firewall between you and the i? I had lots of issues with FTP and Navigator getting disconnected when I was working on other things or running a long running process. Turned out our ASA firewall was dropping "idle" connections at 60 minutes. I changed our i TCP keepalive from the default 120 minutes to 45 minutes and all my dropped connection issues went away.

I agree with John, here.
I use FTP from the PC (DOS FTP client) for backups and it waits until the program is done to complete.
Well, unless the program runs for a really long time. For some reason it will drop the connection while a program is running (this isn't a timeout setting on the FTP server on the i, it seems like a timeout setting on the DOS FTP client).

The remote program is run using the FTP command:

It appears that the script runs the next line without waiting for
the
program to finish.
Is there a way to make it wait?
Um, it actually should be waiting. What FTP client are you using?
The one that comes with Windows? Are you sure that PGMLIB/PROGRAM
isn't just submitting something and then ending?
