THX for Your reply. The problem is that I tried everything. I used Your
FTPTest Sample (Ftptst.dpr). I used Binary and without Binary. Also Sync and
Async. Same
result.
The File is a RAR-Archive-Part. So it is no text. I tested over 3 hours.
The filesize is 15000000 Bytes using the filesize-command.
This is the way I tested the binary-mode:
Enter the values to get access to the server into the Edits.
Marked 'Binary'. Clicked on connect. Clicked on cwd and then on get.
FTPClient starts downloading the file. Filesize was 15054856 bytes on my
HDD.
I did the same without checking binary. Same result. Can you post me the
commands for Delphi7 You would connect to a Unix-Server and start
downloading a file.
Here my way I did:
FtpClient1.HostName := HostNameEdit.Text;
FtpClient1.Port := PortEdit.Text;
FtpClient1.UserName := UserNameEdit.Text;
FtpClient1.Password := PasswordEdit.Text;
FtpClient1.HostDirName := HostDirEdit.Text;
FtpClient1.HostFileName := HostFileEdit.Text;
FtpClient1.LocalFileName := LocalFileEdit.Text;
FtpClient1.Passive := passivecheck.checked;
FtpClient1.Binary := true;
{FtpClient1.Binary := binary.checked;}
Ftpclient1.connect;
ftpclient1.cwd;
ftpclient1.get;
FtpClient1.Quit

This is usually caused by a wrong transfert type selection. Be sure to use
Binary mode if you want
to have the exact same file. Default is text mode.
On a Unix system, a text file has lines delimted by a single LF character.
On Windows, a text file
has lines delimited by CR/LF pairs. FTP protocol has a mechanism to tranfer
binary or text files.
When transfering text files, FTP does the conversion needed. That is a Unix
text file transfered to
a Windows server becomes larger since LF are translated to CR/LF.
Now speaking programming, you need to set the Binary property to TRUE or
FALSE and call the method
TypeSet to send the type you want to the server (translation is done by the
server), before you do
the actual transfert. By default, FTP protocol specifies a text transfert
(Binary is FALSE).
