The given offset is the exact number of bytes that will be skipped counted from the beginning of the source file before it is transferred to the destination. If used with uploads, the ftp server command SIZE will not be used by curl. Use "-C -" to tell curl to automatically find out where/how to resume the transfer. It then uses the given output/input files to figure that out. Now your line: curl ftp://ftp.someone.net/somefile.iso > somefile.iso Looks like it might become: curl -C - ftp://ftp.someone.net/somefile.iso > somefile.iso Note the '-' after the -C -- T o m M i t c h e l l Found me a new place to hang my hat :-)
