System name:		scrubbing-bubbles.mit.edu
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.2.8 (with mkserv)
Display type:		unknown

What were you trying to do?
  use /usr/athena/bin/ftp to put a file to an ftp server
  running on my NT machine


What's wrong:
  once the transfer is almost finished, the ftp client
  hangs without closing the file.  this only happens
  with the athena ftp client, not the vendor ftp client.
  it doesn't seem to matter if the transfer is ascii or
  binary.

What should have happened:
  the file transfer should have completed.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
