I would think it would be personal preference of whoever configured wu-ftpd. The tar command that gets used to bundle up the directory is configured in a 'ftpconversions' file: :.Z: : :/bin/compress -d -c %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNCOMPRESS : : :.Z:/bin/compress -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:COMPRESS :.gz: :.Z:/bin/gzip2cmp %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS|O_UNCOMPRESS:COMPRESS :.gz: : :/bin/gzip -cd %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:GUNZIP : : :.gz:/bin/gzip -9 -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:GZIP : : :.tar:/bin/tar -c -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_TAR:TAR : : :.tar.Z:/bin/tar -c -Z -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+COMPRESS : : :.tar.gz:/bin/tar -c -z -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+GZIP : : :.tgz:/bin/tar -c -z -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+GZIP : : :.taz:/bin/tar -c -Z -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+COMPRESS Maybe the site that followed the symlinks had a -h option on the tar command line? Or maybe I caught this thread in the middle and just submitted a nice non-sequiter?
