FTP "Not Connected"
I am using standard Microsoft FTP client. I could login to my FTP server to "get" or "pull" files. HOwever, when I try to "get" files, sometime I get error message which says "ftp> Not Connected". Then I could not get the file. When I checked, I am still connected to the FTP server. No disconnection with the FTP server.
The problem is intermittent. When I tried again later, it works fine ... until I got that problem again.
DO you have any suggestions on what might have caused the problem?

Further to what has already been written above, I'd try to connect to a different ftp server to see if the problem is duplicated there. Any of the public ftp servers would do, but as a suggestion try this one:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/
If you try getting several of the smaller files you can then see if it is software or server related. I use filezilla as recommended above, but it should be client independant.

Also, in case you do face the problem, I would suggest that you turn the 'Keep-Alive connection' feature of FileZilla.
