Curious problem. For an ftp-client I have a BufferedInputStream retrieved from the ftp-server (proftpd). I read from it and write the File through BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream()) to Disk. Now, the file written to disk is some K greater than the file read of: File on my virtual FTP-Server: #> l big-file.zip -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 15598221 Mär 29 20:02 big-file.zip* # > l /tmp/even-bigger-file.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 willi users 15655752 Apr 23 14:06 /tmp/even-bigger-file.zip Some clues to it? The routine that connects that connects the FTP-Server Stream to my local file stream is: public boolean download(BufferedInputStream _remoteInputStream, long _fileSize, String _localFile) throws UnknownHostException, IOException { long progress=0; BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(outputDataCommand("STOR " + _localFile)); File localFile = new File(_localFile); BufferedInputStream bis = _remoteInputStream; long fileSize = _fileSize; byte b[] = new byte[BLOCKSIZE]; int byteRead; while((byteRead = bis.read(b, 0, BLOCKSIZE)) != -1) { //if (progress > 0) raf.seek(progress); // is resume implemented at any server ? bos.write(b, 0, byteRead); progress += byteRead; eventListener.progressChanged((int)(100*progress/fileSize)); // update progress } bis.close(); bos.close(); return true; } Is this related to the endian-problem java has (the files above are Windows-zipped ones)? Any help appreciated. willi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
