ftplib problem/question

[stale at siteloft.com]

I am writing a small ftp client and have some problems/questionsabout ftplib.
When i store files on a server and try to send an abort command,
i get a socket error, but when i retrieve a file from a ftp server i have no
problems. I have written a method which is identical to the 
ftplib.FTP.abort method, but it sends a STAT command, the same 
problem occures. Although i get abort/stat successful response, the 
ftp object locks in some way. I can still send certain commands like 
pwd/cwd/pasv, but no commands where we need to send data over 
the socket like LIST/RETR/STOR. I get two different Socket errors 
when sending a STAT or ABORT command during STOR: 
104, Connection reset by peer.  32, Broken pipe

Does anyone know how to avoid these errors, or how to deal with them ?
Thanks in advance.
