There's probably not a native way for the OS to do it, Dragan (since the capability isn't built in to the FTP spec), but it is possible for an application to recover from an interrupted FTP session.

Many decent FTP products have this ability. (I use WS-FTP, tho Netscape Communicator will usually work if you don't otherwise interrupt the session)
