truncation after Synchronize

[Fantaatje]

Hi,

Im having a strange problem when I synchronize over *ftp.

Most of the files get there ok but there are always a few files that differ in size after I synchronized.

You will see the problem in this screenshot :

These files (I dont know what the criteria is to trigger the problem) get truncated round familiar numbers (8192...)

Anyone have a clue ?

As I can see, all the sizes on FTP-server are divided by 512, that is often the cluster size. Maybe, something around it?
Try to download such file back to your computer, save under different name and compare by content with the original file. What will be the difference?

I think those files were transferred in text mode, rather than binary mode. Always use (even for text files) binary mode transfer, most windows editors can cope with unix style textfiles today (except notepad of course ).

looks indeed if the last block isn't transfrred properly.

Maybe you could try to transfer with another ftp-client. I would guess it's a server problem - then you would have similar behavior.

Oh, and first try to transfer these files again - if they transferred then complete you know at least that the content on the server is undamaged. Or did you upload the files? Anyway another attempt seems appropriate to check if the error is reproducable.

Could you transfer such a file both with TC and some other tool, and then compare them by content? What exactly is different? Since these are ASP files, the server may be interpreting the contents instead of sending the plain files.
