RE: [WS_FTP Forum] FTP protocol

[Dan King]

I’ve seen problems when the mode is wrong, such as using ASCII when BINARY should be used. That was only a problem when using a Windows based client to get/put to a linux server.   Dan King - MCSE, CNE, CCNA [EMAIL PROTECTED] office: 408-369-7585 ex218 cell: 408-667-2076   -----Original Message----- From: Tony Maertens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 1:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] FTP protocol   Hi there,   We are a web printing company in Belgium.   We use quite often FTP to send or receive files from our customers.  (mostly PDF)   It happens quite regularly that these files get corrupt and the transfer has to be restarted.   1)       I thought that there was a ‘security’ mechanism built into FTP so that it starts retries when a block of data is not correctly received by the receiving machine So how is it possible that files get corrupt ?   2)       Is there any way how we can prevent this ?   Thanks in advance for any answers.   Best wishes for 2004 !   Tony Maertens
