Fetch is breaking encrypted files on upload (6 posts)

    I have recently upgraded to Fetch 5.6. Now when uploading the encrypted files to install our CMS software, Fetch is breaking the encryption. This has never been an issue with the previous version of Fetch, please advise what settings need to be changed to allow encrypted files to be uploaded without corruption. I do not see this addressed in your help section.

    Hi Sherry,

    Thanks for upgrading to Fetch 5.6, and we're sorry you're having a problem - we'll take a look and try to figure out what is going on.

    Could you please do the following?

    * Quit Fetch, if it's running.
    * Open Fetch again.
    * Connect to your server.
    * Upload one of the files that you are experiencing problems with.
    * After you receive the error, go to the Window menu, and choose Fetch Transcript.
    * Copy the entire contents of the transcript window, and paste them into a reply to this message.

    If you prefer not to post the transcript on the message board, you can email it to us at bugs@fetchsoftworks.com .

    Thanks,

    Scott,

    The encrypted ColdFusion file index.cfm was uploaded, and the encryption was broken.

    thanks,

    Sherry

    Hi Sherry,

    Thanks for the transcript.

    What happens if you do the following:

    * Connect to your server.
    * Go to the Remote menu, choose Format, and choose "Binary (Raw Data)".
    * Upload the problem file again.

    Does that solve the problem?

    If not, please send the transcript after having tried that.

    Thanks,

    Hey Scott,

    That worked, thanks!

    Hi Sherry,

    Okay, glad to hear it. Your file was being uploaded in text format - because it is a text file - and when files are uploaded in text format, Fetch will attempt to translate the line endings in the file to match the line ending format used by the server. My guess is that doing that to this file caused the problem. Using Binary mode tells Fetch to upload the file completely unchanged.

    Based on this, you probably want to set Fetch to always use Binary mode for uploads. (Making the change using the Remote menu as you did above only affects your current session.)

    To do this:

    * Close all open connection windows in Fetch.
    * Go to the Fetch menu, and choose Preferences.
    * Click the Upload tab.
    * Click "Default upload format" and choose "Binary (Raw Data)"

    From now on, Fetch will use Binary mode to upload all files. This shouldn't cause any other side effects.

    If you run into any further problems or have further questions, please let us know.

    Thanks,

    Scott McGuire
