\_ Use ncftp. It will restart from where the connection got cut, e.g. if you
\_ get half of a file, it will only download the half you're missing.

Um, out of curiosity, will ncftp handle:

scp large-file
# time passes la la la
^C # screw the scp, it's takin' too long and the data isn't sensitive
ncftp large-file

Will ncftp be smart enough to pick up the file from the point
completed by scp, or does it want to handle all the bytes itself.  

Just curious, 'cuz I had a large file the other day of ~400MB...
