[Xitami] FTP upload problems from webcam software

Hi,

I have had troubles with Xitami 2.4d9 on Win98se and uploading via ftp from some webcam software called Video Capturix 2001 (www.capturix.com).  After successfully making a local disk copy of the image (jpg or bmp) it then proceeds to upload to the specified server but in this case only about 50% of the file is ever saved on the Xitami server.  No error messages appear in the Xitami ftp.log files.  They just note an upload.  This is very repeatable and I even upgraded the Xitami from 2.4d7 to 2.4d9 to see if it still happened.

If I run Win9x FTP command then it easily uploads the same images okay.  If I run other webcam software it uploads okay.  If I run other ftp server on the machine (and disable Xitami) it works okay from Video Capturix 2001.  So where is the problem and where do I go from here ?  Is it maybe the default transfer mode bin or ascii maybe ?

I am going to install WFTPD to get around the problem (which I licenced for our old web server before moving over to Xitami about 12mths ago) but I would like to have it all working.

Are there any detailed debug options for the FTP upload ?

Yours,

Andy..
