Very Computer

Hi Guys,
        Earlier today I was attempting to transfer some files via FTP
from a local machine attached via ethernet to my Linux box and came
across a little glitch. Basically I'm receiving a 426 Data Connection:
Broken pipe response to the transfer and the file is truncated to 65439
bytes!!!!!!!.

         Also in recent months I've noticed a broken pipe message when I've
been un-taring compressed archives with 'tar xvfz...' is this a related
problem and an anybody shed some light as to what might be causing it?

        However if I do an FTP from the console of a file in my home
directory all is fine, so something is definately a little fishy.

        The machine I'm connecting from is running Windows for Workgroups,
using the Microsoft tcp stack and FTP client, the session log is below.

I've had this before, and it's commonly caused by running out of disk space
on the machine you are trying to ftp the file to.
