Dreamweaver FTP client corrupts downloaded files

Hello,
I am trying to edit a pre-existing website using Dreamweaver. When I download a local copy of certain files using the Get function in the Files menu, the local copy I get has a bunch of garbage inserted into it. The garbage displays on the page as non-standard characters (mostly Chinese or some such). The copy on the server is fine: The site itself displays properly in the browser, and when I use the browser to view the source of the server's copy, it is all fine and problem-free. Infact, if I simply copy and paste that source code and save it in my local copy of the file, the file works fine. I'd rather not have to do this every time I want a fresh copy of a file from the server, though, so I was wondering if someone could tell me what is corrupting the files when I download them using the Get function.
Thank you,
-Nick

Thanks guys.
I downloaded FileZilla. In FileZilla, the problem appears if I download in ASCII, and is fixed when I download in binary. Selecting binary or ASCII is very straightforward in FileZilla.
However, I cannot get the problem to go away in Dreamweaver. I have edited FTPExtensionsMap.txt to dowload html in binary as described, but that doesn't seem to have any effect in Dreamweaver.
I was wondering if there is anything else I have to do to ensure Dreamweaver transfers in binary, or if anyone has any further suggestions.
Thank you,
-Nick

Corrupted download file : 9i for NT

The second disk file 92010NT_Disk2.zip seems to be corrupted. I get bad src errors when trying to un-zip it. I've re-downloaded it about 5 times now on different browsers and operating systems. I always get the same error.

I have posted your message in the Downloads Issues.
The people who monitor that forum should be able to help you.
You can Corrupted download file : 9i for NT to follow up.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

And here we go again with corrupt download files unable to expand

There seems to be a pattern with major updates from Apple and the ability of the servers providing the content - be it iTunes or iOS or Mac OS updates - I have been unale to download sucessfully the larger updates but smaller (22MB for AirPOrt Utility) work fine.
The annoying thing is that in almost all cases the erorr dosen't occur until AFTER the download is complete - meaning it takes up allt he time and bandwidth etc with no result and you have to start all over again.
This has happened to enoguh people and with enough different software releases that I posit that it is NOT the result of any partiucalr configuration of netwokring and or hardware and or firmware and or OS version etc - but that the it is a systemic issue on the provider side of things.
Perhaps they (Apple's content providers) should stagger access or something - by time zone - or Apple should release updates over the course of a week - not all on the same day.
I would much rather get a message that the server is busy try agian later - or have one update a day - and have it work on the first try - that to waste time retrying the same downloads over and over again.

While it is entirely possible taht some combination of DOCIS or firmware etc on the user end is a contirbuting facotr - it is not hard to find numerous reports of exactly what I am talking about along with other similar issues.
I don't recall having this issue before I upgraded to 50Mbps download service - so there could be a connection there. But the "solution" in my case so far has been to just simply keep trying and eventually it works just fine.
I suppose I may have forggotten as they are so few and far between - but in my recollection - the ONLY issues I have had have been with software from Apple - whether downloaded via software update - or the App store - or iTunes - and no where else - on both Mac and Windows (had Apple Software Update fail to get iTunes update a couple times on Windows, but windows is easy to goof up if you have other installers running at the same time).
On the other hand I don't recall too many cases in the past where the downloads were so large as they are nowadays - and certainly the number of users after those downloads has only increased over time.

Corrupted Download Files?

Hello, I'm currently using a DHCP setup with a Router and 3 AirPort cards. Recently, I decided to switch from a Linksys to a Netgear router, but since I did i've been noticing images occasionally being garbled up on web pages, or text showing up as gibberish. Whats more troubling is that when I go to download a .zip, .dmg or .tar file, they show up as corrupted. Some of them download just fine, but the ones that don't are corrupted despite the machine or router. I've tried clearing the cache for each browser that I test the downloads on, but that doesn't seem to work. I've also tried hooking up my older router and downloading the files using that, but I get the same results. Anyone know what I can do to fix this? For the record, the 3 computers on my network are a G4 Laptop, a G5 iMac and a G5 Quad Core PowerMac, all running 10.4.7. The most recent download that has given me this issue is StuffIt 10.2. Thanks in advance!

Sorry - should have mentioned what program I was using.
Using Safari - r-click and saving the target of links, one after the other. A download pane pops up with some of the files downloading, others queued.
I was downloading from my university course website - basically a bunch of lecture notes. Granted, it's not often you see pages with multiple pdfs.

Anyone else get err=1403 corrupted download file

I've tried downloading 5 times. Every time after the download it validates the 551.4MB file and returns a corrupt file err=1403. Anyone else with this issue and solved it.

I'm on Windows 7 and none of the above things made a difference. One other thing to try, which worked for me was to run iTunes as Administrator.
Exit out of iTunes, if you have it running.
Right-click the iTunes link and select Run as Administrator
Download and install the update
The error message innacurate, since this error apparently also occurs if iTunes can't get the appropriate access to decompress the firmware.
Any Apple support engineers watching this discussion, take note and add it to the big list of things to try when updates fail

FTP error on downloading files from server

I haven't changed my server settings in quite awhile, but
some time ago, I started getting "FTP errors -- could not get file
xxx.htm", and no further explanation.
I am able to see all my files on the server, and am able to
upload saved files to the server, as well as copy files from my
local hard drive and upload them to the server. The only I can't do
is get any files.
I wrote to my ISP's tech support to check their logs, and all
they saw was that all was well on their end. No permissions issues
or errors reported in their logs.
They asked if I had Passive mode checked -- I did. They
suggested I disable my Firewall -- I don't have one. And that I try
another FTP program. I tried FTP itself in Terminal, and my old
version of GoLive 9. Both were able to get any file I requested,
using the same connection settings and machine.
So they're stumped.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi, Alan--
My ISP checked their logs and found no permissions problems
with any of the files I was attempting to download. I also checked
the DW FTP log (Site-->Advanced-->FTP Log), and I am the only
user who has any permissions on any file or directory, and I am
logged in as my user.
The log shows no attempt at a download being made at all, but
only a LIST command:
> CWD /usr/www/users/grndlvl/commerce/gl
< 250 "/usr/www/users/grndlvl/commerce/gl" is new cwd.

FTP clients and music files

Hi- I was about to upload my iWeb site - to Godaddy for the first time - just pages - I'll be adding music later. I chose Cyberduck but didn't understand the window you have to fill in to make an upload. So I looked into the Cyberduck forum and was horrified to find a post from a composer who said that Cyberduck wouldn't upload any music files. So I'd like some ideas, please.
Thanks, Kay.

Hello Roddy, I just sent you a private mail re WSM, as I didn't see you in the forum today. Can you possibly take a peek ?
I got all in a bother with Cyberduck as I couldn't fathom out how what I should write in the opening connection box - nothing seemed to tally with the info from my host (GoDaddy() Kay.

Alternative FTP client app on mac

Hi guys
Can you recommend on a good reliable FTP client for Mac? I would like the FTP client to upload files automatically upon saving the file which is a great feature of Espresso but unfortunately I find Espresso's FTP to be a pain to work with.
Thanks

If you check the following article, you will get a list of FTP clients recommended by Business Catalyst

Help needed to write download file program

I want to write a servlet which will allow clients to download files from server. Main work is, a fixed no.of downloads(only n users can have download permission) will be allowed at any time. if any more no.of new users came they have to wait for a download connection. if a connection is freed then that connection will be given to a user who had entered first. (First In First Out). Can it possible. Plz help me. Thanks in advance.

It's easy:
In PAI you have do an insert into a database table, following the steps:
1.on PAI create a module: for exemple Zwrite_table.
2. inside Zwrite_table code as follow:
move var1 to wa_table-var1.
move var2 to wa_table-var2.
move var3 to wa_table-var3. etc etc
insert table ztable from wa_table.
P.s. ztable is a database table.
wa_table is a structure that have the same structure of ztable.
var1 var2 var3 etc is a variable inside your dynpro.
regards,
Roberto.

FTP clients/upload only changed pages

I've been reading all the posts related to uploading sites created with iWeb to a non .Mac acccount using various FTP clients, and just want to make sure I am understanding this correctly. I use Fetch to upload my two sites to a godaddy.com account. No problems, everything works fine. My sites don't have a lot of pages right now, so I don't care that the whole thing is uploaded every time I make a small change or add a new page. But if my site increases in size & takes a long time to upload, I'd like there to be a way to only upload the changed or new pages. Am I correct in thinking that as of now, none of the FTP clients available are able to do that?

Hi,
you're right: none of the FTP clients is able to do that with iWeb.
That's what I think why it is so (yet not 100% sure): FTP clients compare the file size and the date a file was edited. If they see it changed they upload that file. If not they kind of skip it.
The "problem" now is that when you export an iweb-website to a folder the files are marked as "created the day and time" you exported it. And that's why (I repeat, I'm not 100% sure) the ftp client doesn't skip the files because the answer from the server is "the file on the computer is newer than the file I have".
(To the pros who read that: please correct me if I'm wrong so that I can learn and don't make mistakes twice...)
BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO is manually selct the files you want to be uploaded. Say you change something in the index file, you can go to your ftp client select the index file and then upload only the index file (I do that all the time with one or more files).
If you add pages that do not appear in the nav bar, means that on a page you have links to that pages, in your ftp client you can select the pages you added and the page you inserted the links to those pages and upload only those.
Now I'm not sure about adding a page that appears in the nav bar, I would try it but my page has a lot of pages and it takes forever to export to folder but you could try... (please tell me the outcome) But I think that it works with those pages too (I think the nav bar will be updated in the whole site even if not re-uploading them all)
Reagrds,
Cédric (please someone tell me what I didn't know yet, Thanks!)

The download file appears to be corrupted. Please refer

Hi guys !
Pleeeeeaaaase help me, I have this message when installing version 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 under linux Redhat :
yes
Unpacking...
Checksumming...

The download file appears to be corrupted. Please refe
to the Troubleshooting section of the Installation
Instructions on the download page for more information.
Please do not attempt to install this archive file.
I have tried with rmp file, with bin file, and always the same problem !
Sebastien.

Try forcing binary mode when FTPing to the Linux box. My FTP client defaulted to ASCII mode for the .bin file and it was only when I forced it to use binary mode that the .bin file checksummed and extracted correctly.
Hope this helps.

Problem with downloading file from FTP server

Hello all
I have uploaded a file from an application i developed and i want to download this file from another application. The code is
public static void FTPcon() throws FtpException{
   String hostname = "my.ftp.server";
   String username = "myusername";
   String password = "mypass";
   Ftp ftp = new Ftp(hostname,username,password);
   ftp.setHostname(hostname);
        ftp.setUsername(username);
        ftp.setPassword(password);
        ftp.connect();
        ftp.setBinary();
        ftp.download("file.dat");
        ftp.disconnect();
}The error i receive is java.io.FileNotFoundException: public.dat (The system cannot find the file specified) but the file is on the server.
Thanks in advance for any help

Cotton thank you for your reply
Any other sugestions please?The server disagrees. So...
- the file does not existThe file exists.I checked it with an FTP client program.
- the file has a different nameThe file name is correct
- you are connected to the wrong serverI am connecting to the correct server
- you are in the wrong ftp directoryThe file is placed in the home directory
- the ftp library you are using is broken (less
likely)I am using the library from jscape.I dont think is broken because i can upload the file from the first application.
>
FTP isn't somehow broken in Java. I use it all the
time. The problem is something listed above. I would
check all of the first four if I were you because
that's most likely where the problem is.Message was edited by:

Attempting to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 (using an ancient Mac OS 10.3), but received an error message (corrupt image file) when downloading - any way to correct this with my current OS?

I'm currently trying to update a few programs on my good old (VERY old) Mac Powerbook, but I ran into an error when downloading Firefox version 3.6...I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.3.9, which isn't compatible with the most recent versions of Firefox (or anything, for that matter), but it should still allow an upgrade of version 3.6; however, once the file finished downloading, an error message popped up indicating there's a corrupt image file. Is there any way to work around/correct this problem, or am I stuck with my old version of Firefox until I bite the bullet and upgrade my OS??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

Dreamweaver 4 no longer working after downloading files created with MX

I downloaded files that were created with Dreamweaver MX to
my pc in order to update them for a new client. I've been using
Dreamweaver 4 and now I cannot even open Dreamweaver 4. Luckily I
also have Dreamweaver 8 installed and can view all the files in the
site from there, but what would have caused Version 4 to generate
errors upon trying to open? It starts to open and I can see that
the properties panel is disabled and then I get the error message:
"Dreamweaver has encountered a problem and needs to close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience." I've sent the error report to
MS...
Any thoughts other than to use Version 8 from now on? Since
I'm a designer, I do have quite a few client sites that I'd have to
reset the remote site info for...
Thanks.

a guess- you also downloaded the .mno design note files.
There should be a technote on this-
It talks about contribute 2, but it's same exact issue with
MX and newer
Dreamweaver 4 crashes on Contribute 2 sites
Issue
Dreamweaver 4 crashes whenever it connects to a site that has
recently been
accessed by Contribute 2.0, 2.01 (Windows) and Dreamweaver MX
2004.
Reason
Contribute 2 and Dreamweaver MX 2004 design notes on remote
server or local
site folder are not compatible with Dreamweaver 4.
Dreamweaver 4 tries to
read these files and crashes when it cannot.
steps to fix are next- link below.

How to upload and download files using FTP to a server(webserver) in JSP

I have to upload and download multiple files Of(size >5 MB)using FTP to a
Server(webserver) in JSP
how to do that ?

Or he could create his own tag libraries, no? :)One supposes that, technically, one could create a taglib wrapper around an existing FTP library. There might be licensing issues with distributing that taglib wrapper.
Of course, one could find the FTP RFC online, read it, and implement one's own FTP client implementation, complete with a tag library access point.
