The files sizes show up as 0, thought it still takes the normal amount of time to transfer the files. I have a script that runs on all my linux/fbsd machines at night, and creates a tar.gz backup of critical files, such as /etc/passwd and then ftp's the tar file to another fbsd machine for storage. The tar files from the linux machines are all transfered via a GET script, run by cron from the FBSD storage machine. All the files transfer properly. My other FBSD machine transfers via a PUT script (actually the same as the GET script, except I've changed it to mput instead of mget). Files transfered by this machine show up as 0bytes, though is still takes the 30 seconds to transfer the 5MB file. When I run the script by hand, sh putbackups.sh, I can watch the transfer take place, and the counters show the proper amount of data transfer taking place. When I check the storage machine, the file sizes are 0bytes. I can't FTP anything off the storage machine, the ftp session either times out waiting for a reponse, or the ftp client will bomb and complain about a lost port. I don't see any error messages in /var/log/messages, I don't have a /var/log/xferlog, at all. I'm running FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #1 About the only thing I can think of, is I horked the last stable build, EXCEPT is did work properly after the last build. It just started acting flaky about a week ago. I honestly cvannot think of anything I might have changed that would cause this. I haven't been messing with ipfw or rc.firewall, or anything.
