Resume Transfers
Transfer with confidence, even with slow connections or if you're using a lower
performance FTP server. CuteFTP can detect a broken* transfer and automatically
resume it where it left off, rather than transfer the whole file over again.
Resume Settings
*Not all sites support this feature. In case of power-outage, you must reboot
your PC and run CuteFTP Lite for it to automatically resume. Severe blackouts may
corrupt data on disk and therefore prevent CuteFTP Lite from successfully completing
the transfer.
