From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.1-0.1.9 i686) ftp download using mget option to transfer large files (4 files of approx 30 MB each) caused ftp client to hang. I could reporude it every time when I try to ftp to RH 7.0 server and ftp downlaod big files. However I can ftp from RH 7.0 server to RH Wolverine RC1, trafnsfer works OK, no hangs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ftp from a workstation which had Wolverine RC installed 2. 3. Actual Results: ftp download using mget option to transfer large files (4 files of approx 30 MB each) caused ftp client to hang. I could reporude it every time when I try to ftp to RH 7.0 server and ftp downlaod big files. However I can ftp from RH 7.0 server to RH Wolverine RC1, trafnsfer works OK, no hangs. Expected Results: ftp client should not have hanged :-)
this has got to be a kernel / network driver bug, not an ftp bug. What is your NIC hardware?
We (Red Hat) should really try to resolve this before next release.
The RH 7 7.0 server is on Dell PowerEdge 2400 The Wolverine workstation version is on Dell PowerEdge 1300. Suhaib
If you could catch a tcpdump of the session, that would be useful to see. tcpdump -nl > outputfile. If you can do that on both machines and show us the last few hundred lines from each trace, that would be great.
We still need to know what kind of NIC hardware you have, too.
I tried cut and past of the tcpdump from threee different machine (RH 7.0, RC1 and SGI IRIX 6.5.1) When pasting a few hundred lines from tcpdump output your bugzilla crashed my Netscape. Onlyway I could send tcpdump output is to e- mail you??????????? I am using 3COM 590x on both machines. Suhaib

You can attach the tcpdumps using the "Create a new attachment" link not far above the "Additional Comments" box. You can use that to attach files of any size without crashing netscape...
