(The "standard" FTP restart mechanism is clearly inadequate.) You can start breathing again. I have such a beast, hacked into the BSD4.3 Tahoe ftpd. I looked at hacking block mode into the client, but the client's code is a real mess. Why bother if I don't have a client? Because I have convinced Phil Karn's TCP/IP client and server to do block mode restart.
