| Author | Forum: PowerTCP FTP for ActiveX Topic: File truncation with .Store method |
| mvanaltena From: New Meadows, ID USA Posts: 3 Member Since: 11/20/02 |
posted November 20, 2002 10:23 AM A program is depositing 3 files to an FTP site - 1 text, 2 PDF files. The text file and 2nd PDF file have no problems, but the 1st PDF file is consistently being deposited with a file size of 50 - 150 bytes, while the actual file size is 10 - 80 KB. No error is being returned by the .Store method. Any ideas on how to diagnose and fix this problem ? |

posted November 20, 2002 10:49 AM It sounds like you have the transfer type set to Ascii for the pdf file. It should be set to Image |

posted November 20, 2002 11:00 AM I'll try that change. I'm curious as to why this is only happening to one of the two PDF files. Could file size be an issue ? The one that is being truncated has a larger file size than the one that is making it through. |

posted November 20, 2002 11:20 AM I misread your post, I read 50 - 150 bytes as kbytes which would be consistent with Ascii - Image problems. Either way, you should not be using Ascii for a PDF, but I doubt that is causing the problem your are seeing. Check the contents of the file, I'll bet the contents of the first pdf is actually the name of the file. When you called store, the file was probably not found so we assumed that you were trying to store a string rather than a file. If the file was found and it was in use, and you got no error, then you should get the latest update. That problem was fixed a while ago. Here's a link: http://www.dart.com/downloads/update.exe |

posted November 22, 2002 4:02 PM You were right, Tony. The contents of the PDF file were the file name, which was not found due to a typo in the code. Fixing the file name solved the problem. Whether the type is ASCII or image doesn't seem to matter in this case. |

posted November 22, 2002 4:42 PM The server must be IIS or something else running on a Windows platform. Image and ASCII only make a difference if the server (or client) is on UNIX ( or Mac I guess ) |
