To those who encoutered it before, I've learned how to sucessfully FTP to other sites with all those wonderful Fred Fish files on them. But, once I get them back to my Amiga my files will not unzoo....it reads into the first file and then it chokes and says that's corrupted. Argh! I've tried to set it to binary and ascii when I do my ftp. Neither one works. Here is exactly what I've tried. Selected file - all files have been ONLY zooed. set transfer to binary & ascii used get to get file Once the file is on my local UNIX system I used Kermit on the UNIX system here to transfer it back to my amiga. On the Amiga end I used Handshake V2.12a and it's kermit. I get no errors during transfer but nothing will unzoo nicely at all. Small or big files! Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks. Aaron

In response to the message on FTP'ing, I must say, I have the EXACT same problem with FTP'ing, yet I use a totally different method of getting my files. this is what I do: mail to: bitftp@pucc ftp xxx.xxx.xxx user anonymous get files.xxx oops!---I mean before I do a GET, I BINARY F 512 then get files.xxx quit Im using a vax, so when I get the files, I RECEIVE/binary file.xxx then kermit SET FILE TYPE BINARY <- in kermit, then proceed to download them using handshake 2.12 set to kermit 8 bit binary.. Does anyone have a clue why my zoo files are corrupted? Thanks, Curtis@ureginav

In response to the messages on FTP'ing... I can't see immediately what you guys are doing wrong but I have a diagnostic suggestion: Unzoo the files on your unix box before you waste time downloading it to your amiga. Since I provide archives for people in my company, I keep the stuff on my unix box anyways. I also re-zoo the files in a standardized format. I use Zoo V2.01 by Rahul Dhesi (1988) on both my amiga and on my Sun. I haven't had a single problem.

Are you setting file type to binary when you are transferring down to your Amiga from your account? What protocol are u using anyhow? I used kermit unfortuna tely, where I had to make sure to DL with 8 bit Kermit.
