Solaris FTP Client

The Solaris FTP client has been enhanced to include support for the following:

• Using passive mode to connect to a remote host from behind a firewall

• Restarting a failed transfer from the beginning of the transfer or from a certain offset

• Setting the TCP window size to enhance the performance of file transfers

• Detecting that the remote system is another UNIX system and setting the default transfer mode appropriately for optimized performance

For information on the ftp command, see the ftp(1) man page.
