Hi, Check socket handle - usually it's not valid any more. You didnt write what do you use.

hello sir, sorry that i didnt write what i am actually doing. i am using CFtpConnection Class and using Putfile() function i am uploading the files to FTP server. but i want to know how to detect the connection loss (if any) while transfering the files. should i have to ping the server at certain time intervals or is there any other way of detecting the connection breakdown.???

Hi, No, pinging does tell you nothing because e.g. server can disconnect your session in any reason but its own will still working. Add callback function to your code and check events CInternetSession::OnStatusCallback.
