FTP corrupts images?

[Neodudeman]

When I try to upload an images to my website using the ftp command 'put,' the image Always turns out blank.

Does this happen to anyone else?

If I start out with a local image, say image.jpg, and upload it to my webserver using the cmd ftp, the image comes out on the webserver a completely blank, but the resolution is still there, and the size is correct.

Does anyone have a solution?

What FTP transport software are you using? There are MANY...

Never used this FTP method ... and equally never had your problem.  Is this a new problem or - have you just stated FTP'ing?

I have used WS_FTP for years - just the old version and it does well.  There are tho some freebies out there - many - some I think on Sourceforge.net, probably too on freeware.com.

I'd suggest getting a regular FTP app and using that.  Puzzling tho why you get the blacking out and yet properties still seem there.   - it's almost as if (if jpg) something is amiss with decompression.

Switch to 8 Bit (BINARY) File transfer, if you could upload file.txt, and it would be appear file but not file.jpg , then its being sent in text mode and not binary mode.. if you are using ftp.exe, just type binary before you send the file

Ahaha - had not thought of that - the old ASCII image upload!!

Good thinking.
