Hi,
Unfortunately, the Finder is a poor and not very reliable FTP client.
The download could be being interrupted by bugs in the Finder's FTP client; it also could be that his network is causing the connection to be interrupted during the lengthy download. The Finder has no facility to resume an interrupted download.
I recommend that your client use Fetch or another FTP client program instead of the Finder. If a download is interrupted in Fetch, Fetch includes a resume download feature that your client could use to finish the download without having to start over at the beginning again. Other FTP clients probably have a similar feature.
Thanks,
Scott McGuire

I'm trying to upload a Quicktime file to a client of mine.
I've set up his ftp site without a problem, and can upload the file as well.
However, when he tries to download it (he's clicking and dragging from Finder; he doesn't have Fetch), the file never fully transfers and Finder has to be restarted.
He's able to access the ftp site, see the file, but it simply won't download.
Please help!
