Hi,

There seems to be an issue transferring slightly larger files, like 40k binary, tried all methods i could think of, ftpc, ftpd (set to binary), webview download, it always cuts short around 4-7k. Small files work. Any ideas?

This is vmware, tried both NAT and bridged. It's as if you're testing using tiny files, otherwise this would have been spotted.

oh and there is a message with ftp: 550 No create file

@tigros - thanks for the report. Please can you provide step-by-step instructions for a minimal test-case that recreates this issue?

I have something similar problem with FTP client - when try to upload file from KolibriOS to server, it got cut down to 32 KB.
Probably that is some network stack issue, if it also happens in other apps.

Try using simple-httpd, when I tested in VirtualBox, the valid size range was something like this:
0-32kb
90kb - 3mb
7-36mb

i'm not sure why but simple-httpd did work. It might be related to IIS, windows 7 in this case. I did try IIS ftp server as well as other light weight ftp servers, none worked. so finally i got the file transferred, Thanks Doczom for the suggestion!

edit: just realized i used a different simple-httpd, here https://github.com/briandowns/simple-httpd running on win7, then used webview in Kolibri to download. I see now Dozcom wrote a simple-httpd, trying that would be more complicated since it doesn't appear to be installed in live CD.

Re-opening issue, as it seems there may be a problem to investigate.
