Hi, I experience strange problems when fetching binary files out of the zope database. I downloaded it several, all versions differ, and are different from the original (downloading per http works fine, it gives the correct file). Example: FTP commandline (after logging in and changing working directory): ftp> put putty.exe local: putty.exe remote: putty.exe 227 Entering Passive Mode (134,60,17,60,187,111). 150 Opening Binary connection for putty.exe 100% |*************************************| 220 KB 880.30 KB/s 00:00 ETA 226 Transfer complete. 225280 bytes sent in 00:00 (443.89 KB/s) ftp> get putty.exe putty2.exe local: putty2.exe remote: putty.exe 227 Entering Passive Mode (134,60,17,60,187,117). 150 Opening Binary mode data connection for file 'putty.exe' 100% |*************************************| 220 KB 1.29 MB/s --:-- ETA 226 Transfer complete 225517 bytes received in 00:00 (981.69 KB/s) ftp> get putty.exe putty3.exe local: putty3.exe remote: putty.exe 227 Entering Passive Mode (134,60,17,60,187,120). 150 Opening Binary mode data connection for file 'putty.exe' 100% |*************************************| 220 KB 1.29 MB/s --:-- ETA 226 Transfer complete 225517 bytes received in 00:00 (1.17 MB/s) Then, again in the shell: total 696 -rw------- 1 ms1 users 225280 Jan 16 11:58 putty.exe -rw------- 1 ms1 users 225517 Jan 16 12:11 putty2.exe -rw------- 1 ms1 users 225517 Jan 16 12:11 putty3.exe ms1@wsl12:~/test > diff putty2.exe putty3.exe Binary files putty2.exe and putty3.exe differ Also all damaged versions share the same length, it is not likely to be a line feed conversion problem (accidental ascii transfer), because this would give identically damaged files. This happens with different types of binary files (I tested exe and zip, some of my users had problems with wav), but it seems to work fine with txt, html and images. It appeared at least with linux command line ftp, wsftp and IE5, so it is likely to be a server problem. Uploading can be with ftp or http, download per ftp produces damaged files. I use the debian version of Zope 2.4.2 (source release, python 2.1, linux2), python 2.1.1, linux2), installed products are - apart from the standard products - the HTMLDocument 0.9 and my own product (which does not fiddle anything with FTP at all). Can anybody reproduce this? markus -- Markus Schaber - http://www.schabi.de/ Check in to another world - test a _real_ OS.
