files corrupt in the files area
Question regarding uploading to the files area
If i create a subfolder in 'homedir' and either transfer files directly to it or transfer them from the root they become corrupt when trying to access them. Has anybody else had this problem the files I have used are zip and doc the files work perfectly on my computer and in the root 'homedir' of the runbox files area, just not after a transfer to a sub folder thanks G |

Do you use the web interface or a ftp client?

I had the same problem with a corrupt mp3-file. The reason: My FTP-client uploaded it in ASCII-mode instead of in binary mode. After uploading it again in binary-mode everthing was okay.

This may or may not be completely unrelated, but I've had file corruption problems when downloading attachments from emails sometimes. Using Firefox, if I click on an attachment and it automatically asks what I want to do with it and I select a location for downloading, all is good. However, if I right click the attachment and then direct where to save it, MS Word and most PDFs end up corrupted in some way. Perhaps, as someone above noted, it's in the method that it's uploaded/downloaded.

However its only after I transfer files to a sub directory that the coruption happens, so far with .pdf .doc .zip files
uploading and downloading to the files homedir creates know corruption, so it may be an internal runbox linking/transfer error. G |

deltajets,
What exactly do you mean when you say the files "become corrupt"? What kind of concrete symptoms are you experiencing? Are you uploading files from your computer or saving them from an email message? - Geir |

It doesn't seem to be a general Runbox problem. I uploaded a 7Meg ZIP file to "Homedir", moved it to "Homedir/zip_test" and then downloaded it with no corruption. I was using FireFox v1.0.3.
