Most of the FTP's seem to be in sbwait. 
They hang around indefinatly, or so it seems, they just seem to
accumulate.

I don't know what client the remote end is using, its a fairly public
server.

Doesn't ftp timeout though? I mean, can someone just leave an ftp server
running? I thought it timed out and closed after 900 seconds?

Thanks
