Hi

I would have used the help search page, but since it seems to be dead, can
anyone suggest why this is happening:

>netin: Connection reset by peer
>421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

when a user is getting files from my server (2.4 on a Sparc Station 20
running SunOS 4.1.4).

The user is coming from a remote site which from exprience is very busy,
I'm hinting there that my server may have decided that the remote sence has 
timedout and closed the connection.  Would playing with the -T option on 
ftpd or having the user ;-) use the -t option help us here?  If anyone has 
worked around this sort of problem, what have you used?

Thanks 

Colin
