    >Hi Guru's

    Hmmm... you must be talking to someone else *grin*

    >I'm using some batch jobs that send some huge files (around 40GB or more)
    to a Windows server. At some point of time (not specific), the job is
    aborted. I'm having some troubles, because it is >necessary to run those
    jobs again and I spend much of time. The Windows support team searched for
    some related problems and there's no issue regarding AIX to Windows FTP
    transfer. The >network is also ok.
    >Does anyone have some clue about what is happening?

    This really does sound like a network issue. These things happen.

    But instead of chasing down the cause, a good alternative (if it suits
    your situation) could be to get a windows ftp program which will attempt
    to resume the download should an interruption occcur ( sorry I don't have
    a product name for you ). After all, with 40 Gig you are talking about
    ftp'ing for a fair period of time - you never really want to get to 39.9
    Gig transmitted, have an issue and then have to re-send the whole file.

    I hope this helps,

    Bruce Whittaker.
