Hmmm that's odd, it works ok here other than some unrelated bugs,
and we tested it on quite a few files. Ftp server is linux.

One of the unrelated bugs I have noticed is that once a file is 
uploaded, the contents of the target directory get hidden and 
you cannot navigate to the parent directory without disconnecting 
and reconnecting first. That behavior was present before I 
patched though, and I figured I'd take on one thing at a time.

Thanks very much for checking it out. I will do some more testing 
here. I take it you were testing it on a Linux machine?
