FTP does not have a mechanism to handle failures.
The 'rename' mode ensures that the data is fully transferred, before it is renamed, and only then is the data removed from the ip.buffer.
TMP File & Rename process:
filename.tmpfilename.tmp to filenameThe FTP server should ignore any files that end with .tmp and not process them.
These are either transfers-in-progress, or failed-transfers that are not complete.
