You'll need to provide details. What kind of connection do you have?
Which computer is making the connection? If it's a serial-port or
modem connection, what are the communication parameters (speed, flow
control, etc)? Are you transferring the files in binary mode or text
mode? etc etc. For hints about preparing a problem report, see:

If the file was transferred successfully, it would have been deleted.
The fact that it was not deleted suggests that it was not fully transferred
(or if it was, then the handshake at the very of the transfer by which the
receiver lets the sender know it was fully received did not complete).
By the way, it is quite possible to reestablish broken connections
automatically and, if you are transferring files in binary mode, to resume
interrupted transfers from the point of failure. See, for example, the
"deliver" script in the Kermit script library:
