I have a user who uses his account in a strange way.

I cannot see any files in ftp, but he has used 100mb according to the raq control panel.

When i login with telnet i can see the hidden zip files.
I'm afraid this user violates some of the terms and conditions of our contract.

How do i get some zip files tru telnet on my home computer ?

Thanks in advance !

That is odd.......Did you set your FTP client to list all files? Kinda like showing .htaccess files?

i use cute-ftp, and i cannot see .htaccess files in it, or find any optie to show hidden files :(

Try doing a:

ls -lah

This makes the sizes of the files in readable format (bytes, kilobytes and megabytes).

After that, if you want to get the files, the best way is to copy the files over to your own working directory then FTP to your directory and download them.

Of course doing the moving/copying as root. You can login to your FTP with your regular login.

ok thnx i'll try that

it worked.

But i cannot open the zip files because each file has bytes missing, even after a second download :(

Hey, if the files are in a web-visible dir then just type in the web location of the files.

Can you use something like sz to transfer the files via telnet?

Just a thought.

Can you use something like sz to transfer the files via telnet?


No.. You can't.


Login as Root in your FTP, browse over to the website of the client for example say his website is:

site40

then browse over to /home/sites/site40 and download his complete /web directory.

This way no files would be corrupted and no other problems would occur and at the same time you would have all the files.

That might help a little.

why dont you ask him what they are ????

if he is doing bad stuff might scare him off ????

sure they are zip and not rar files in multiple pieces chopped up (zip files to but rar is more common with warez)

they have .zip extensions, could be renamed from anything ofcourse.

When i try to download complete directories, i get a empty ones (but they are not).

I could ask, but i'd rather know without waking anyone up.

I renamed a zip file to rar, and finally get to see some files.

They seem to be some industry information for some rather large technology firm.

Wonder why they use my server and not their own, but thats their business i guess.

So thanks for the help and suggestions everyone.
