Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: FTP Exports
Erik - You probably want a Unix group or networking group to get a
definitive answer. FTP won't delete the file on your server. However if you
write a Unix command to delete the file as part of your FTP script, you
should test for a success/failure indication from the FTP script before you
delete the file. My understanding is that FTP has integrity checks built in
to sense whether the transfer was successful or not. HTH.

I am FTPing exports in binary mode as a part of my backup/recovery plan. What happens when the network connection is lost between FTP client and server while a file is being transferred? Will an incomplete file appear on the FTP server or would the FTP server sense the disconnect and remove the partially transferred file?
Thanks
Erik
