Comment 12 for bug 304848

Hi Martin,

The solution is to use something other than FTP, or fix the FTP server to be one that deals with APPE commands correctly (or at least doesn't claim to support APPE).

There's not much bzr can do about servers that claim to support a feature but that then silently write corrupt data when you use that feature. The best we could do is add a configuration option to bzr so that you can force it to never use APPE (and be much slower), as Martin Pool says in comment 10.

If someone is interested in writing the code to add that configuration option we'd be happy to mentor the effort.
