htm File transfer truncated

[dennisfp]

FileZilla 3.0.1, XP SP2

When uploading a 96k .htm file called "CITY OF BROOKSVILLE.htm", the file size is about a 1000 bytes smaller than the original when it finishes transferring.

I have tried playing with the Auto/Ascii/Binary settings without success.

FTP Voyager 12 (which I'm trying to dump for FileZilla) does not suffer from this issue.

Also received an unexptected disconnect or two from the ftp server.

You should configure FileZilla to use passive mode as it reports your internal IPv4 address to the server. The configuration wizard can help you to check if your connection settings are correctly working.

Can you download the uploaded file again and do a "diff" between the original file and the downloaded file to check for the differences? Does the file have about 1000 lines, or is the end missing, or the beginning?

You can only expect the exact same size when using binary mode.

Thanks for quick response. Noticed something weird. When I download the smaller file again, it reverts back to original size! I don't know if it's a dislay size bug on the FTP server, or if FileZilla is "growing" the file back to its original local size. How would FileZilla know exactly how to do that?

As you suggested, I did a compare (using UltraCompare 5) on the original local file and the re-downloaded smaller file and they are identical!

And how could it be a display bug on the FTP server, as when I upload the file using FTP Voyager 12, the remote file is not smaller, rather it is exactly the same byte size as the local copy. And when I use FTP Voyager 12 to just look at the remote file that FileZilla uploaded, it is showing as about 1000 bytes smaller. Just as I see the smaller remote file in FileZilla.

The changed remote file size by FileZilla seemed scary because you don't know if there's a corruption or deletion.

Regarding passive mode, the FTP hosting company specifically recommends *not* enabling passive mode. But I will try it as you suggest.

Your server most likely uses a Unix-like operating system, which uses single LF characters for line endings.

See ​http://filezilla-project.org/wiki/index.php/Data_Type

Regarding passive mode, the FTP hosting company specifically
recommends *not* enabling passive mode.

Get a different hosting company, your's got no clue.
