Hi, This is not a strictly FreeBSD question, more of a general Unix question, but I hope you can help anyway: I am trying to transfer a large set of files to my computer. sense I only have a 28.8 connection to the internet I usually Telnet into my ISP's server, use ftp to download the files to it, then download them from there to my computer, these seems to speed up the transfer time quite a bit. sometimes when I am telneted into my ISP I get disconnected from the internet. If I immediately dial back into my ISP and telnet back to it I can see that I am still logged in on whatever terminal I was on before, but after a few minutes that connection is terminated, is there anyway I can switch back to this terminal so I can continue downloading? Also is there any way I can start a process (e.g. a ftp transfer) then disconnect and have it continue executing? Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated! Daniel Keller
