uncompress error of sendmail

I downloaded sendmail.8.12.3 from ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail

when I use
gunzip sendmail.8.12.3.tar.Z
It returned
"gunzip:sendmail.8.12.3.tar.Z corrupt input. Use zcat to recovery some data."

for
gunzip sendmail.8.12.3.tar.gz
it said that
"gunzip:sendmail.8.12.3.tar.gz:invalid compressed data -- crc error"

Any suggestion? Thanks.

Hi Victor,

Sure sounds like the file came down corrupted.
Try
gunzip -t
on the file to test it's integrity.

HTH,

gunzip -t said
"gunizp: sendmail.8.12.3.tar.Z: corrupt input."

Yep...you'll have to pull it down again.
Make sure it comes down binary.
And if you pull it down to a PC make sure you send binary from PC to the HP.

Re: uncompress error of sendmail

Thanks for you reminder, Jeff. Yes, I am using PC, the original format is winzip file, when I put this file from pc to hp, ftp said that
"WARNING! 13383 bare linefeeds received in ASCII mode File may not have transferred correctly."

Where can I can winzip to binary format?

Hi Victor,

Well I don't think the problem was winzip. It was the ftp from PC to the HP.
When you connect the ftp session from PC to HP, at the ftp prompt enter
> bin
this will set binary mode.
Then put the file.
When it's complete just run the gunzip -t again to test it.
You may not have to pull it down again.

Re: uncompress error of sendmail

Jeff, you solved my problem! I've looked everywhere this morning trying to get my Windows XP ftp to work, and you're the first one I found who actually had an answer that worked. I'm going to post the question again so I can give you some points.
