I would like to ftp in several files from a remote site (using
anonymous ftp). The site is busy during most daylight hours, and even
when I can connect, the connection has been unreliable. Is there any
utility that can transfer files in background, and will retry on a
broken or uncompleted connection?

Thanks for your help,
- Steve (masticol@athos.rutgers.edu)
