   FIN flag set in TCP header of a data pac   
   30 Apr 13 02:19:52   
   
   Hi all,   
      
   I was looking at some FTP file transfer traffic, and noticed that in a couple   
   of these file transfers, the FIN flag is set in the TCP header of a data   
   packet carrying the file contents. I'm curious to know what this means and why   
   this would occur,    
   because I thought FIN flags are not usually set in data packets.   
      
   Thank you.   
      
   Regards,   
   Rayne
