Hello Jay,

Thursday, February 27, 2003, 2:47:16 PM, you textually orated:


JT> When I tar up a directory on a solaris box and then ftp
JT> (push) from the solaris box to a RH8.0 box (solaris box is
JT> the ftp client, RH8.0 box is the ftp server), the subsequent
JT> untar operation on the RH8.0 box fails with:

JT> # tar -xf myfile.tar
JT> tar: Skipping to next header
JT> tar: Skipping to next header
JT> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

JT> However, if I get that same tar by ftp (pull) from solaris box
JT> to RH8.0 box (RH8.0 is ftp client, solaris box is ftp server),
JT> the untar works fine.

JT> Any ideas?

Are you making sure to set the mode to binary in the first instance?

ie.

ftp> binary
200 Type set to I
ftp> put myfile.tar

Have fun,
