overwriting a file with shorter data does not truncate it #167

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
1. write a 70 bytes files on a web server mounted via FTP
2. remove 10 bytes
3. check the file via the server : it is still 70 bytes long. Data is 
corrupted: the last 10 bytes are 
duplicated, as if the file length had not been set to the new length.

Note: this does not appear to happen with a classic FTP client.

MacFusion 1.1 (it did the same under 1.1b2)

FTP Server is 220 ProFTPD 1.3.0a Server (ProFTPD)

Two comments:

Removing the file then sending a fresh copy "solves" the problem for that 
particular file.

I don't own the FTP server so I can't provide access. The server itself 
probably has a bug (too?)

What do you do exactly to remove the 10 bytes? Did you write a program to do 
that?
Are you using a text editor?
