If your USB stick is almost full and you try to FTP a file which is larger than the available memory on the usb stick you would expect to get an error message!

Well, i don't!

The end result is that the last file copied is truncated and therefore corrupt!

-OLEG firmware 1.9.2.7-6b (2005-06-30)
-tried smartftp and ftp from 'total commander'
-128MB USB 2.0 stick from HP. FAT32

Who can give me an explanation? :eek:

it does not do a pre-check (it's called stupid-ftpd) if enough space is available
