FiFTP is a specialized tool designed to move files from an FTPBone server to 
your machine and upload replies. It also has capabilities to "mirror" remote 
sites. It is not a general replacement for FTP, nor is it freeware. I believe 
registration is $25us. 
You probably are thinking of NcFTP which is a direct port of a freeware UNIX 
tool of the same name. It has many features above and beyond OS2 base FTP. I 
generally don't worry about restart as the only way I would need that would 
be if I was trying to FTP, lost my connection and then got busy signals for 
many minutes (900 seconds before NcFTP times out) keeping me from 
re-establishing my PPP link.
