I just uploaded a picture to my site, but it says it's corrupted when I try to view it in a browser. I edited it using Photoshop 5.5 on my 7200. I've never had this problem before. I'm using Transmit 1.6 PPC. It's just a small jpg.

Has anyone else encountered something like this?

Edit: revontulet displays it fine. I wonder if the FTP client is the issue.

This is crazy, I tried it again and again, and finally on the third try, the image is intact. I've never seen anything like this before.

Update: The only thing I can think of is that while I was toggling ASCII mode, I may have toggled it a second time accidentally.

I've had this happening before to me, very rarely, and I think I've always just re-opened it in Photoshop and saved it again, which usually solved the problem for me.

P.S. nice chatting with you on Hotline yesterday. Come again ;-)

It is highly likely that this is the cause. I get caught out by this all the time with the built-in FTP client in Windows 9.x, which always defaults to ASCII, while Fetch and the FTP client from the DOS MTCP-stack always default to binary.
Binary works for every possible file type you could place on an FTP server and it is not like we have to worry about conserving bandwith to reduce the phone bill.

I remember clicking on Encode in MacBinary in the File menu. It wasn't until later that I realized it didn't turn on binary "mode". Instead, it converted the file to a file with a .bin filename extension. User error.
