We are having a peculiar ftp problem.  I have tried many different ftp 
programs on the remote side and they all have the same simular problems. 
 Users (remotes) login PPP to my server.  Then they run their partictular 
FTP program. They connect just fine.  Once they download or upload a 
program the connection gets lost or I get an undecipherable report and I 
have to reconnect.  I think the problem occurs when it trys to relist the 
directory after the transfer.  The file does transfer from the remote to 
the host ok.  Somewhere after that is where it hangs up.

Please help me locate the problem, I am sure it must be a simple fix for 
some of you wizards out their.

Thanks
