Ask the Wizard QuestionsTransferring data files by FTPThe Question is:
I am having problems transfering binary data file, of varying size (in binary mode) to an FTP sight. I can transfer Binary executable files with no problem but the data file keep getting corrupted. I need to know how to transfer them to and from the FTP sight. Can you help me?
The Answer is:
The problem is that the data files contain variable-length records and all the record attribute information is lost when the file is copied by FTP. In addition, the record lengths themselves may be lost as they are not carried over by default.
