Hello Allan, There is no way to easily detect a broken cnx between a client and a server if there is no transfert.
Only the sender of data can detect the broken cnx and tell about it, but the receiver of the data will simply wait, there is no reliable "broken link" msg send to him, it's up to you to manage some timeout or broken cnx scheme. I think the only way if for the server to send some "NOOP" data back to client every xxx seconds. This is what some FTP Clients (I saw it with FIleZilla) do on their side to detect if link is still alive with Server and also for not bieng disconnect by server because if inactivity / idle time. Regards. AF> I am using Delphi 5 with ICS 1.42. My application runs AF> within a LAN. If a machine (say M1) with a TFtpServer AF> component is receiving a file from a TFtpClient (say AF> machine M2) and the LAN wire is pulled out then the AF> TFtpServer never resets the connection.
