It is possible, but the CIFS suite is a network filesharing suite and, as 
such, is not really designed for things like transfer resumption.  

It is possible, however, to implement all of the features you want using
jCIFS as a base.  Note, though, that jCIFS would simply provide you with 
the file transfer--all the rest would require your own code.
