by Hello:
I am experiencing a problem in getting on-the-fly conversions to & from
tar files to work, and
I am wondering if someone out there might be able to help.
I am running WU-FTP version 2.4 on a Sun Sparc 20, an UltraSparc, and a
pentium box. All are running
Solaris 2.5.
Here is my ftpaccess file:
# more ftpaccess
class all real,guest,anonymous *
limit all 100 Any /etc/msgs/anon-ftp-busy
readme README* login
readme README* cwd=*
message /welcome.msg login
message .message cwd=*
compress yes all
tar yes all
log commands real
log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound
shutdown /etc/shutmsg
& here is an ftpconversions file
:.Z: : :/bin/compress -d -c %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNCOMPRESS
: : :.Z:/bin/compress -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:COMPRESS
:.gz: : :/bin/gzip -cd %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:GUNZIP
: : :.gz:/bin/gzip -9 -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:GZIP
: : :.tar:/bin/tar -c -f -B -v - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_TAR:TAR
: : :.tar.Z:/bin/tar -c -Z -f -
%s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+COMPRESS
: : :.tar.gz:/bin/tar -c -z -f -
%s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+GZIP
:.tar: : :/bin/tar xvfB - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_UNTAR:UNTAR
Conversions between plain files & .Z files work in both directions.
Conversions between plain files & .gz files work in both directions.
Conversions between plain files & tar files do not work in either
direction.
When the pentium box is used as a server, and the client issues a get,
the server
returns immediately with the 226 Transfer complete message, and 0 bytes
are transferred.
When one of the sparcs is used as a server, the 226 Transfer complete
message is sent,
but after a very long wait.
If anyone has experienced such a problem I would greatly appreciate
your advice.
Thanks in advance,
Dug Birdzell
