Hi,
I currently have my Win * box connected to a FreeBSD box, and
my FreeBSD box dials out on demand. Well, it seems to me (actually,
this happend to my friend also) that whenever I download a
self-extracting
program from my Win machine through the FreeBSD box, the program
gives me the error (when I run it in Windows):
"WinZip Self-Extrator header corrupt. Possible cause: bad disk or file
transfer error"
I have tried many other files, and this happens to all of them.
I know this is quite off topic, but just wonder if there's anyway the
FreeBSD
box recieves the data differently than that of a Win machine... (such as
in
FTP, where using regular ASCII mode, files *maybe screwed up, but using
bin mode, files will be transfered properly...)
I am currectly using FreeBSD Release 3.2, ppp -auto -alias demand to
my ISP using a modem.
My friend uses FreeBSD Release 2.2.8, and same problem occurs.
Thank you in advance!
Frankie
