Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Analyzing a "broken" FTP session

   I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but I am hoping to get some help identifying a problem that sometimes occurs between an FTP client and server.   (If this isn't the right forum can someone point me in the right direction?)

   I have PCAP files made on both systems using tcpdump that have captured a recent failure, but I do not have enough expertise in packet analysis or the guts of the FTP protocol to read them and draw a definitive conclusion regarding why the connection "broke".   

   If someone can help I am happy to provide more information regarding the systems themselves, the network topology between them, and the trimmed PCAP files for analysis.

   Thanks in advance, JC
