Hello,
I have been a Xitami list subsciber for years. I have also used the FTP =
portion of Xitami for years. I know that there are many of you who =
would tell me not to use the FTP portion of Xitami as I see people told =
that all the time. I have been using it for years without issue under =
98, ME, XP, and Mandrake Linux. I have received 2 .rar (WinRAR) files =
from a client. Usually, I get .rar files fine, but both of these are =
over 500 Meg. I have never tried to receive files of this size over =
xitami before.
Both files are fine on his side, but on mine (the Xitami side), the file =
headers are corrupt, and cannot be repaired by any program including =
RAR, WinRAR, AZR, etc that I can find. In fact, it is corrupted so bad =
that all programs say "no files found". So, it seems that I have 2 =
files each consisting of over 500 Meg of non-translatable garbage.
Now, my question is:
1) Is there an actual known filesize limit factor in Xitami FTP?
2) If not, is there anything else that could be wrong (new XP Pro =
install (no SPs) running xigui32 2.5c1 )
3) If there is, and its not just something stupid in XP that I didn't =
think about, is there a freebie or cheap FTP program that someone has =
experience with that has no problem with filesizes > 1 Gig (to be safe)?
I know how to disable Xitami FTP and run another FTP program instead. I =
was looking for real answers, not simple bashing of xitami ftp, or =
biased but unexperienced FTP server favorites - not that it happens THAT =
often on here, but it has. If Xitami can't do it, I need an FTP that =
someone KNOWS can. I can fail once in a client's eyes, but I cannot =
make them spend another entire day uploading files that are just going =
to corrupt again. I'm not trying to sound arrogant, but I do know what =
I am doing for the most part.
Experienced answers only please . . .
Thanks,
- Jay Aldrich
