Copying a microsoft word doc
Please support our C++ advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home
Thread Solved |
if I ftp any work doc in binary format or asicc format and view the resulting file they are all fine. ftping the copied file that my binary creates does not work fine. So not too sure it's an ftp issue.
What o/s are you using to copy file?

Oh, I just saw the attachments. Downloaded input.doc and my program copied it correctly, as expected. The output.doc file you attached is unreadable for me too, so the problem is either in the ftp or the solaris operating system. My guess is the ftp program is corrupting the output file.

Where did the input.doc file come from that you posted? Was it also FTPd to Windows machine before you posted it here? Or did you post it directly from a browser running on Solaris os ?
I agree with AD that the FTP is probably what is going wrong.
FTP defaults to text mode. You must explicitly set it to binary mode before copying files.

I wrote two programs - one with an fstream read and write and the other has the code provided in the example above. Both produced the unreadable doc.
I really don't think it's anything to do with ftp. I can ftp any word doc from the server to the desktop and vice-versa in binary mode without any issues - the ftp'd file which has graphics, fonts etc can be opened successfully.
The original input file was ftp'd from the desktop on to the solaris server in binary format.

The problem could also be one of Endianness. The byte order on windows and *nix computers are reversed. Maybe your os is writing the bytes out in reverse order during the copy process. To test that use your system's command-line copy function to make the copy, FTP to Windows and check it with MS-Word.

To eliminate ftp as an issue. I ftp'd a doc from desktop to server. ftp'd the doc back to desktop to different location and doc opened successfully.
Copying a doc on server and then ftping is also successful when opening using ms-word.
Does this just leave us with sun solaris?

did you try my previous suggestion yet?
Yes - see previous response - I did the unix copy command, ftp-d to windows and opened with ms-word successfully.
