Hi,
In message <aecbf32a52.rcomp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, A Rawnsley
There's something odd going on. I'm zipping with !SparkFS 1.42, and
using the "Test Archive" feature before uploading. Either the FTP
transaction is killing the zips (possible) or... I don't know.
With the default set up, SparkFS leaves archive files open, for a short
time. If you're in a hurry it is possible to copy the archive whilst it
is open, result a corrupt file.
This is a feature... it makes certain operations go a lot faster. Like
copy with the filer, if every time you add a file, the archive has to be
opened and then closed - which involves writing a directory to the end,
things go very slowly.
You can set up SparkFS so it does not do this, you can use the archive
menu to 'forget' about the archive which closes it. The timeout is 5
seconds. Patience, you can usually see the disc light flash.
The common form of corruption is truncation, the central[*] directory of
the zip not being added. SparkFS can be set up
(*ZipUseCentralDirectory...) to manage with out this. There is zip
fixing software (for Windows) that can analyse what is wrong - which
might give someone a clue how the corruption is being generated.
* 'central' but usually at the end of the file.
