I get this too. I uploaded my gf's source code to a machine at
school this morning and the last bits of two files got corrupted.
Needless to say she fell apart till I fixed her code for her. I tried
doing the ftp again and it seemed okay (for now). I was using ncftp to a
solaris machine if it helps..
