I must disagree with mikek147. The ftp protocol has a control socket and a data socket. The control socket stays open for the entire session. This is how you send commands to the server. But a data socket is opened for each file. I would not use the term "disconnect". But with each data socket, one side is writing the data and the other side is reading the data. When the entire file has been sent, the writer closes the socket. This causes the reader to see end-of-file with the next read. The reader then closes its end of the socket. If another file is to be transferred, another data socket will be opened.
