Topic: File corruption with WinSCP and MSS on Ubuntu 10.04

Hello,

I don't know if this is a MySecureShell problem but I thought I'd post it here nevertheless. I have MSS installed on a Server running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid 64bit and the Programmer who uses the MSS account has severe Problems with file corruption when downloading files with the newest WinSCP. I've seen the files and the first few bytes seem to be fine but then everything is filled with "\r". He also uses the MSS account with his IDE and there no corruption happens.

As stated before I don't blame MSS for this I just thought maybe someone can help me figure this out.

Hi,

It's transfert of text file ? Because it's buggy in MySecureShell 1.20 just transfert text file as binary and it's fixed big_smile

Thanks for pointing this out. Will this get fixed in the next release and when is it supposed to be released? Or is there a way to disable text mode on the server?
I tested MySecureShell as a replacement for scponlyc and so far I prefer it a lot but I can't force all our customers to disable text mode within WinSCP and unfortunately the file corruption issue when using text mode renders it pretty much unusable  sad

Hi,

There is not date planned for MySecureShell 1.25... at this time we are testing the version  smile
And there is no way to force transfert mode (ascii or binary) in MySecureShell  hmm

Re: File corruption with WinSCP and MSS on Ubuntu 10.04

Hello,

has the issue with file corruption due to buggy text/ascii mode been fixed in MySecureShell 1.25? I checked the release notes and saw nothing of the like but thought I'd ask nevertheless.

Awesome, gonna run some tests and if everything works alright I'm gonna use it on all our servers from now on.
Scponly with chroot is quite a mess on Ubuntu > 10.4 and Debian Squeeze  smile
