I do not think so. How would SFS know that a second PUT was to be done? Also, what would it do if the second were to fail? I hope it makes them separate work units.

The sequence of events is 1. A small file, 10-15 short (<80 bytes, each) records is created on the pc. 2. Immediately thereafter, an FTP is started by the script that created the small file. It contains two PUTs, one after the other. The first sends the newly created small file; the second sends a file of nearly 10,000 records ranging in size from 150 to 800 bytes. I have noticed that sometimes, infrequently, the large file arrives first. This transfer is done over an internal network. Tracert from the pc to VM always shows the same 7 hops; from VM to the pc, the same in reverse order. Is there anything that explains this as normal behavior? Or has Chuckie struck? I would love to do the transfer with a virtual machine as the client, but the large file is inaccessible from any pc on the network that is running an approved FTP server. Unapproved FTP servers are frowned upon by Infosec, and thus, by management.
