A resilient data transfer capability is provided. The resilient data transfer capability is provided in a system including active and backup servers configured for supporting a TCP connection to a client. The resilient data transfer capability provides for continuation of the TCP connection with the client, using the backup server, upon failure of the active server, thereby enabling continuation of a TCP data transfer to the client via the TCP connection when the active server from which the client is downloading the data fails during the middle of the TCP data transfer. In this manner, the resilient data transfer capability enables the backup server to assume responsibility for the TCP connection from the active server without causing any associated problems (e.g., without resetting the TCP connection or causing any client side errors).
