I think this may be a problem with passive/active FTP sessions and (possibly) proxies settign between you and the Zope instance. I've had the same problem with other FTP clients when I try to FTP into a Zope server: at one client's office they do NAT, which acts as a proxy - around 60% of the time my FTP session will lock up on a PUT, and the WHOLE zope instance dies.

I am accessing the FTP directly, don't know if there is something that would act like a proxy. I am going to check for that...

I had written it off as somethign to do with the clien'ts network - but if its happening to others out there too, then maybe its time we launched an investigation into this? The problem I noticed when I looked at it previously is that no error was ever logged, even with the debug option turned on - the zope instance just died mysteriously.

In my case, when the debug option is turned on it is worst because then it always dies. I don't know if the same would happen with stdio/stderr redirected to something like /dev/null or a file...
