Which version?

What type of corruption?

[amahdy]

version: 3.0.4.1
when I upload a picture in such directory,

and download it from the web interface (web browser) , the picture is ok ..
when I download this picture from filezilla, its size increase about 1K and become corrupted ... i think , some bytes are written twice in the downloaded file (after making a hexa comparison with the original one) ...

*picture type: jpg
same prblem with rar compressed file, gif picture
*no problem with ASCII/plain text files

Thanks !

Check your transfer type. Looks like you're trying to transfer the file in ascii mode.

See ​http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Transfer_Type

I thought "Transfere >> transfere type >> auto" can detect this AUTOmatically ... so auto seems useless like that ?

Thanks anyway.

[amahdy]

yes the previous version can really -auto- detect ... but this one nop ... i just checked that now ...

So if you explicitly select binary transfer, does it work then?

And what by the way is the exact file name of the file you are transferring (and which gets corrupted)?

[amahdy]

Binary: YES it works !

*Seems the AUTO checks the extension then ? ... ok anyway ... my files hasn't extensions, so I think the default should be binary , or for example when the program doesn't find a suitable extension , use binary not ASCII ...

and BTW .. my files name are just some IDs ... like XXXX or XXX_XXX_XXX_XXX_XX and so on ... X is a digit number ...

Thanks !

There is an option for extensionless files on the file type page in the settings dialog.
