Strange problem with samba
Hi everyone

I have a strange problem. Here is my setup:

1. I have a Fedora FTP server (where a 3rd party is uploading files).
2. I then open an ftp session (from a Solaris 10 server) to the FTP server and "get" all the files (place files in directory X).
3. I have a samba share set up on the Solaris server (on directory X) so that Windows clients can access the files that I've transferred from the FTP server.

When I open the Samba share from the Windows clients, I cannot open the images (appears to be corrupt). However, when I obtain the files straight from the FTP server (open ftp session from Windows client to FTP server), it works.

I've tried changing the mode to ASCII when I ftp the files to the Solaris server, but still the Windows clients cannot open images on the Samba share.

Has anyone else had this problem before?

==============================================
UPDATE: I've just tried it again with the "ascii" mode and it appears to have worked.

FTPUSERS(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       FTPUSERS(5)

NAME

       ftpusers - list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon

DESCRIPTION

       The  text  file	ftpusers  contains a list of users that may not log in using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon.  This file is
       used not merely for system administration purposes but for improving security within a TCP/IP networked	environment.   It  will  typically
       contain	a  list  of  the  users that either have no business using ftp or have too many privileges to be allowed to log in through the FTP
       server daemon.  Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news.  If your FTP server daemon doesn't use ftpusers  then  it	is
       suggested  that	you  read  its	documentation  to find out how to block access for certain users.  Washington University FTP server Daemon
       (wuftpd) and Professional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of ftpusers.

   Format
       The format of ftpusers is very simple.  There is one account name (or username) per line.  Lines starting with a # are ignored.

FILES

       /etc/ftpusers

SEE ALSO

       passwd(5), proftpd(8), wuftpd(8)
