Hi, one of our customers has a wired ftp problem: If he tries to put a file to our ftp server that is bigger than 25 KByte the data gets screwed up. That means, for example, a HTML document contains some lines of ^@ symbols (using less :-) ) in the text before it goes on normally. The same happens with other files, and changing between BINARY and ASCII mode has no effect. He uses passive mode ftp, as he is behind a firewall (a Novell MPR). Transferring files to another server on our net works without problems, putting files to another server in another net, too. The system is a HP NetServer 5/166 LC (Pentium 166) with 96 MByte RAM, two SCSI disks (2 and 4 GB), DAT tape, 3x10-Mbit/s-Ethernet and has an ipfirewall running, as it's routing between those three ethernet cards (only IP routing). It run's an early 2.2-RELEASE compiled by Joerg Wunsch with ftpd 6.0, and does everything else absolutely flawless, so we haven't had a reason to upgrade yet. And other customers do definitely not have similar problems, even with much larger files. The machine is somewhat loaded doing WWW server, SMTP server, DNS, but as we have currently a 64k link it's never overloaded. The destinations to which the transfers worked are an NT 4.0 server (what a pity!) and a machine running 2.2.6-RELEASE. This machine is located behind another machine also running 2.2.6 which does routing and firewall. HELP! I simply don't know how to search anymore. I have recompiled the ftpd from the 2.2 sources from which our system has been created in March '95 and reinstalled it, perhaps that will be help, but unfortunately the customer has a network problem at the moment and can't try it...
