    I was wondering if there is a way to download a file with direct link to my own FTP Folder (using CPanel) without downloading it to my computer first. There are some methods to automate this process but all of which I read about somehow download the file on my computer and then upload it to the FTP folder.

    windows 7 - FTP transfers corrupt the files I download
  • thegreyspot

    FTP transfers (using for example FileZilla, CrossFTP or AnyClient) keep corrupting my files that I download.

    • I know it's not corrupt at the server level because other people can download it without any problems.
    • The file is an ISO but it also has corrupted RAR.
    • I have been able to download AVIs and everything would be fine.
    • I tried using FileZilla, CrossFTP and AnyClient, and I got the same results.
    • I tried opening the file with 7-Zip, WinRAR and Virtual CloneDrive, all gave me error messages when opening.
    • I tried downloading with "Binary" and not "Auto", same result.
    • I am not stopping the download and resuming it, so that's not the problem.

    It ended up being a problem with Comodo Internet Security. It was not letting the "continual connection to the ftp server" stay connected. However the transfered continued, it still curopted. Either turn off Comodo Firewall, use ftps (Secure FTP, it has 100% integrety checking), or see if the solution ends up here at my comodo forums topic

    I had multiple cases where my usual FTP-Clients (e.g. ncftp) corrupted the files during the download. But FireFTP, worked fine in those cases, too. However, I still don't know what the real reason was (explanations welcome).

    Some hypotheses, each more unlikely than the other:

    • Files already corrupted on the server,
    • Bad FileZila installation,
    • Bad sectors on your disk.
    • Bad network card or router (EDIT)

    You can test each one in turn.
    If none works, that's as far as my imagination goes.

    I had this problem a few years ago with opening any RAR files. From my understanding that seems to be a part of your problem. My problem was that I had a bad stick of RAM that was corrupting the file as it was being decompressed. Maybe run some diagnostics on your RAM or attempt to open the downloaded file on another computer. That would eliminate the download error portion.

    You need to upload the files in binary mode via ftp.
