I cant find a good forum to put this in, so ill put it here.
I am trying to transfer files without discs between my main PC running Basilisk II which is a windows 7 x64 machine. so obviously the ethernet driver is fail. NAT works, and so does Fetch 3.0.3 the emu is running OS 8 and I have stuffit delux 5.5.1 installed.
I am attempting to transfer files over to my powermac 5260 which is also running OS8. but it has NO programs installed, NO fetch and NO stuffit. i managed to get fetch with iCab.
And i found stuffit 5.1 on my OS9 CD.
So i am using FTP Fetch 3.0.3 to login to my linux-based server to upload files. it gives me a choice to upload macbinary, or binhex, or etcc. ive tried them all and they come over corrupted. if i upload an hqx or bin, my stuffit will not unstuff, it gives type -39 errors after "Decoding"
So i tried stuffit 5.5.1 to stuff the files i am uploading, and i also encode them with stuffit instead of fetch. and i just use fetch to upload raw.
Same issues.
any ideas? first time ever FTPing between macs.

Your FTP transfers are in binary, not ASCII mode, right?

Well, the program is set to automatic on everything. I have never used Fetch before, so if you have a good way to set it up, let me know.

did some more testing, even tried uploading and downloading from the same machine and same client, still problems.
So i compared the file i uploaded, and re-downloaded side by side, its a couple hundred or so bytes shorter than the original file. wonder why that is? thats seems to be whats breaking it.

Its a bug in fetch 3.0.3 uploading system. BOOO that means i am going to have to figure out how to write a new one. lol.
I setup basilisk to mount my C drive, i went ahead and stuffed + BinHexed my files like i normally do, but instead of using fetch to upload them, i installed filezilla on the host PC. transferred the files out of the emu, and uploading via filezilla.
Then i downloaded them with fetch 3.0.3 and it works perfect. you just cannot upload with fetch 3.0.3, or the files get unexpectedly truncated.
