In other words, FTP sucks for many reasons and the time has come for it
to die a peaceful death.
:) Just kidding, but if you don't switch to binary mode before doing
the transfer, you'll have problems.

i have always an error..
"The capture file appears to have been cut short in the middle of a

Or
"The capture file appears to be damaged or corrupt.

So are you copying the file from the Debian box to your Windows machine?
If so, how are you doing the copy? Is it being copied by a program
that copies raw file data, or might it be trying to transfer the file
as an ASCII text file (in which case the transformation between the
UN*X line-feed line ending and the Windows carriage-return/line-feed
ending will cause the copy on the Windows machine to be damaged and
unreadable)?
