Uploaded images becomes corrupt

    I haven’t used images in my post before so I’ve never tried to upload images.

    Anyway, I used MarsEdit to upload an image to my server (debian, wp 1.5.1.3) but when I tried to use it nothing was displayed. I then tried to display the image by itself but got this error message from my browser “PNG Error: [5C][30][0D]I: invalid chunk type”. When I checked the image at the server it seems to have been modified (the beginning of the file seems to have changed for example) and become larger, if I download it and try to display it using some image editor I get a message that it isn’t a valid picture.

    Trying to track down the error (is it MarsEdit or WP that is the problem) I tried to upload an image from my Palm. Same kind of error. I also tried jpg and png files but with no difference.

    Any idea what the problem could be?

    is there an option to change the upload type in mars edit, i’ve never used it personally, but if images arent uploaded in binary format it seems to corrupt them a bit. you should also upload wordpress files in ASCII, jsut a note 😉

    My uploads used to do that also. Becarefull with the FTP program, sometimes you will have to switch the ‘transfer type’ from Binary to ASCII or viseversa.

    I’m also getting this problem when uploading from MarsEdit. It used to work OK around version 1.5.1 or so, but now it doesn’t.

    jod, there is no option to change the upload type in MarsEdit, that’s because it’s always text encoded (which is what I presume you mean by ASCII). More precisely the image is base64 encoded and included in an XML-RPC request.

    Furthermore, there’s no such thing as a binary image upload to wordpress. You may be getting confused with FTP transfer mode which needs to be set correctly if you are using FTP to get images onto your web host.

    This problem has nothing to do with FTP.

    I don’t think this is a problem isolated to MarsEdit or the Mac since I get exactly the same problem when I post a picture from my Palm using mo:blog.
