that correct?

It saddens me to say this, but LiveCode itself has always been iffy at ftp
transfers.  I've set the socketTimeoutInterval all over the spectrum, and
never found a solid solution.  On the same network, all other FTP clients
would work perfectly every time.  I finally had to build a retry routine
since we can't even resume a transfer.  We seriously need a new libUrl.
