Hi all-
I wrote a couple weeks ago about a weird phenomenon with file
corruption and I had it happen again today. I've finally figured out
the issue, and the answer is quite a surprise.
There was nothing wrong with the files, even after the WIndows crash
within Parallels on my MacBook Pro. The problem appeared only in the
files once I transferred them via FTP. So I updated my copy of WS-FTP
and reinstalled. No luck. Then I had a hunch. I was working in
Starbucks yesterday, making use of the WiFi hotspot. In order to have
both the Mac and Windows apps online at the same time you need to use
Shared Networking so that Windows traffic comes and goes as if it
were from the host OS. If you use Bridged Networking (the default) it
appears as two machines getting online, so you would have to pay
twice, or it just doesn't work. So I was still set to Shared
Networking. I shut down Parallels and switched the VM back to Bridged
Networking and uploaded the file again. No problems at all.
When I did compare the files by downloading a problem file from the
server I was finding a lower case letter b appended on the last line
of the file outside the </TAF> tag. But I never would have seen it
looking at the files on my machine prior to uploading as it was only
during the process of uploading that the file was being corrupted.
Hopefully this won't happen with the next version of Parallels - I
haven't tried the beta yet.
Cheers all, and happy holidays
Jason
