[Dorset] FTP files blocked.

2010-08-07 Thread Simon O'Riordan
When I put a linux-based executable file onto my ftp site(not CLI), and I download it to another computer it no longer works. The same file across the network works, after I set the permissions to allow as an executable. Does anybody know what sort of wise-ass magic the Filezilla programme, or Ubun

Looks like either the format is incompatible (vastly differing versions of glibc?) or the file was transferred in ascii mode when it should have been transferred in binary mode. Take a look at your settings on the FTP programs. On 7 August 2010 17:28, Simon O'Riordan wrote: > When I put a linux-b

I've got it sorted now. By default Filezilla comes set in 'auto' mode where the file extension decides whether it is transferred as ASCII or Binary. The trouble was that while the mono.exe CLI files do have an exe extension, so are transferred as binary, ordinary C++-based executables have no exten
