[SunHELP] Retransmit FTP

[Will Mc Donald]

Yep, the REST command is RESTart although the server daemon has to support
it too. Looking at the results of a quick Google confirms that it requires a
byte offset to resume from wherever it left off (which is why it's probably
easier to leave all that to the client).

There are bucket loads of Winders clients that'll do auto-resuming, for Unix
try ncftp.

It has lots of nice, funky features like bookmarks, getting entire
subdirectories, spooling etc.
