I'm having trouble ftp'ing a file which contains NUL characters.
The file begins with 32K of NUL characters, in fact, and the most
that I've been able to ftp is about 2K of the file. The transfer
usually stops dead after NO bytes have been transferred. It's
not the only file with which I've had the problem, but it's the
first file that stopped transferring after nl bytes had been
moved.
This problem is isolated to linux, since I can ftp the file on
the same computer under Win95.
I've tried various asyncmaps (00000000, ffffffff, 00000001),
various MTU/MRU sizes, several versions of PPP, and several
kernels, and several ftp sites. Right now, I'm using ppp 2.3.7
and kernel 2.2.3.
I can browse Web pages OK, and I can ftp other files. My problem
seems to be tied to the content of this file. What other
software in my (modified) RH5.1 linux system could be involved
with my problem? I think that I either need to upgrade something
or reconfigure something.
The file being ftp'd is
http://donut.tho.org/redhat-6.0/redhat-6.0-i386.iso.
Thanks. This is getting frustrating.
