Hi Ed!

I don't know whether anyone else has had this experience or not, but on occasion I've downloaded Linux tarballs to a Windows OS desktop (or directory) and then passed them to a Linux machine on our internal network. Occasionally the Linux OS refuses to open them or is unable to open (or process) them for some reason.

Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't.

However, if I download the same tarballs, from the same source directly to the Linux machine, they open just fine!?!?!

Any ideas? I've never had the free time to go back and investigate or dig any deeper into this. I'm curious why this may be. Perhaps someone with more Linux experience than myself may have an answer or an explanation.

Regards,
Your ever humble and obedient watch dog ;-)
