I have been using Filezilla for a long time, but this morning something strange started to happen when i upload from local to server.

When i upload file using Filezilla files are getting curropted.

See original file here: http://pastebin.com/N7r2rkpG

And this is how it looks when i have uploaded: http://pastebin.com/w0RAJZv4

You see the mess start around line 498.

This is from Filezilla upload log:

Status: Starting upload of C:\Users\mikael\Desktop\OnepageController.php
Status: File transfer successful, transferred 22,797 bytes in 1 second
Status: Retrieving directory listing of "/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/controllers"...
Status: Directory listing of "/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/controllers" successful

This problem is only on my desktop. When i do same from notebook on same network all works fine.

Any ideas to what is happening here?

UPDATE: You can see comparison og logs here: diffnow.com/?report=g39mp

Left side is working upload and right side is corrupt

  • Can you make sure that the file is being transmitted as text file and not as binary?

    The problem you link to is about removing linebreaks. My problem is that it breaks code in middle and start from from beginning again. So not related i am afraid.

  • Have you tried if the problem also occurs when you set the transfer mode to binary?

It looks like a bug to me, either on the client or on the server.

While you rightly claim that this should not be caused by the ascii/text transfer mode (because the problem is not about a line ending), I'd try the binary mode anyway.

Because in the ascii/text mode both the client and server may modify the file, and a bug in the respective code can cause the corruption. In the binary mode, neither side should touch the file, so a chance of the corruption is lower.

Note that on Windows, FileZilla should not modify the file on upload even in the ascii/text mode as the FTP text mode format is identical to that of the native Windows text format.

I ended up using Windows recovery which solved the problem, so it must have been problem local on my machine.

Now i can use next 8 hours to reinstall all programs :(

Thank for helping out.

  • Check your drives for errors... File corruption is no finny business.
