This is a real annoying bug, as I have also experianced it in Dapper Drake 6.06LTS kernel 2.6.15-25. It did the same thing on 2 diffrent computers. One is an Acer ferrari, and another and dual boot windows desktop.
It makes me use windows :( When the last patch came out, and both systems were updated, we lost large file size FTP functionality. I attempted to up load multiple 5M binary files, as well as a small HTML page, as well as a test GIF. On all files larger then 20,480b when the transfer got to 20480b in GFTP, it says transfer stalled, unknown time remaining. FIles smaller then 20K were uneffected. I also attempted the 5M binaries from a bash script. The script just froze when the ftp transfer was initiated. However, it was functional before the up_date -- Gftp hangs on transfer https://launchpad.net/bugs/19484 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
