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!
