- The answer to this is specific to your FTP implementation.
-
- Recent versions of the BSD ftp and ftpd support a restart option,
- which can be accessed using the "restart" and "reget" commands to the
- FTP client; if your FTP client supports these commands, and the server
- does as well, you're in business.
-
- This code comes from Berkeley, and is in at least 386BSD and HPUX
- 8.07; I'm not sure when it was introduced.
-
- Check your vendor and/or on-line documentation; if the support isn't
- available, you may also be able to pick up the sources to the berkeley
- FTP by anonymous FTP and port and build them yourself..
