Description Stefan Probst 2004-05-16 05:48:36 UTC 
The command "ftpget" always returns "SIZE ERROR" when using the boot-image "ip22-r4k-20040426.img" and set up the machine with DHCP.

When doing the same thing with the image "ip22-r4k-20040215.img" everything works well.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot machine with "ip22-r4k-20040426.img"
2. set up networking with DHCP (as described in busy-box)
3. start ftpget...

Actual Results:  
message: "SIZE error" appears (any file).

Expected Results:  
download the specified file...

Without this command working it is nearly impossible to set up a machine since 
the stage-file must be downloaded somehow onto the machine...

Try using wget instead:
	wget ftp://the-system/the-file

this has always worked for me.

I'll have to remember to remove this utility from busybox in the next netboot interation.  Do as Dan says and use wget, it's what will work every time.
