problem uploading pics to my server

[dabuddha]

Hi all
i've got a little problem uploading pics to my server
the deal is, i can upload them fine but when i view them, the file is corrupted somehow because the colors are all messed up. I've tried smart ftp, flashfxp, ws_ftp, cuteftp and all do the same thing. Tried different pics too and same deal
help!

Maybe you aren't uploading in binary mode? Dunno..

That'd be my guess. Both jpeg and gif formats send file informatino that will work correctly as plain ascii, so a decoder can read the header of the image and think that the file is valid, even if it was uploaded incorrectly. PNG files have a different type of header that is designed to break in case of upladoing in ascii mode.

ohh i dont think i can zip it up. I dont have shell access so not sure how i'd unzip it from there 🙂

I had the same problem using Cute FTP, but with Smart FTP it works fine, maybe I should check my settings to see what different

ive had this problem before in the past where it'd be corrupted via flashfxp but not by cuteftp
but this time its corrupted by all of my ftp clients
