Hey well that is a matter that depends on the FTP server you're connecting to , if that FTP server supports resume, then yes resume is supported otherwise NO :p but yes most FTP servers do support resume.

most ftp servers support resume functionality ;)

If you try to download a file from ftp using DAP , it shows whether resume is supported or not :smile:
