About:
Lsof is a Unix-specific diagnostic tool. Its name stands for LiSt Open Files, and it does just that. It lists information about any files that are open by processes currently running on the system. It can also list communications open by each process.

[»] downloading lsof

The link is not broken. It appears broken because ftp://vic.cc.purdue.edu cannot Reverse-DNS your box.

For those trapped behind firewalls or who are otherwise nameless, the FTP server at vic.cc.purdue.edu reports that "you may be able to get lsof from one of these mirror sites":

I successfully downloaded the 'lsof' source from 'wuarchive.wustl.edu' and they appear to have a good set of current binaries for the latest os levels as well.

Although not in the suggested list, you can also download the source (one release back) and the Solaris binary from:
