Being paranoid, I often when using ftp via PPP tell it to go into hash
mode where it prints a '#' after so many bytes are transferred.
I thought the new Kerberized FTP was broken because when transferring
large files, all I would see would be a zero length file on the receive
side, and no hash marks.
I see now that if I wait until the ENTIRE transfer is done, ALL the has
marks print, and there's the file, nice as you please.
This is NOT a good implementation of hash mode.
This problem occurs fetching files from my Sun 2.6 system to my Linux
system at home.
