Could FileZilla check the resumed file position?

#1 Post by xjlin0 » 2004-12-02 15:10

I am trying to download a 4.5GB file and forced to terminated twice because the file is incorrectly positioned by the planetmirror.com server. Very frustrated.
When fileZilla resume the file, could FileZilla check the resumed file position?

Note the REST command and responsed position is different.

Here is the log1:

Response: 200 Type set to I
Command: PORT 192,168,2,55,7,255
Response: 200 PORT command successful
Command: REST 3729783736
Response: 350 Restarting at 2147483647. Send STORE or RETRIEVE to initiate transfer
Command: RETR Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-DVD.i586.iso
Response: 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-DVD.i586.iso (2529499137 bytes)
Command: ABOR

Here is the log2:

Command: TYPE I
Response: 200 Type set to I
Command: PORT 192,168,2,55,4,67
Response: 200 PORT command successful
Command: REST 4903132732
Response: 350 Restarting at 2147483647. Send STORE or RETRIEVE
to initiate transfer
Command: RETR Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-DVD.i586.iso
Response: 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-DVD.i586.iso (2529499137 bytes)

The server you're connecting to does not properly support files larger than 2^32 -1 bytes (upper boundary of signed 4 byte integer).

It is not possible to check the REST reply in a reliable way, since the FTP specification does not say anything about the textual REST reply. Each server can use it's own format. So a server whose REST reply is "350 restarting at <somerandombogusnumber>", would be perfectly valid.

Please contact the server administrators and ask them to upgrade their servers.
