Ahh, well this might be a stumbling stone for beginners. The good thing
is that you most probably will remember now since you have invested some
time in finding it out. ;-)

This is what I usually do (and have done) since this seems logical to

Thanks for your work on this and if we are lucky ftpmaster might process
your package in the next two weeks so the MoM package will be available

It was a pleasure to work together with you
