I guess the file, such as it is, is out of my hands now, then. Because when I got the "Connection closed by remote host" message, I logged back in and went back to the /pub/apple_II/incoming directory and found my uploaded file to be more or less the same size as the one on my disk -- in fact, pretty much exactly the same size (6,675,515 bytes). So the nearest thing I can figure out is, once the program finished uploading my file, the server cut off my connection completely for some reason. But if the file is there, and if the remote file is the same size as the local file, why did it terminate my FTP connection, instead of just returning a "226 Transfer complete" message like it should have done?
