Sounds like the file got corrupted along the way. Are you sure the ftp
from Windows to Linux was a binary ftp? Otherwise it will do
conversions
of CR/LF to CR and things that are a bad idea with binary files! Just
looking at your filename it seems that Windows has decided that the
extra
periods in the filename are a bad idea and changed them. Try to either
get the Windows side to send the file without changes to Linux or just
get the file from within Linux.
