invalid compressed data--format violated on Linux

I created a zip file on Linux environment. I wanted to transfer this zip file to another linux machine. For this, I uploaded the zip file to server using ftp. Now, after downloading the zip file on other server I tried to unzip it on other linux machine. Their I get following error -

gzip: <file name> : invalid compressed data--format violated

After some analysis and googling I found that reason for this error was the way I was uploading and downloading files from ftp server. When I used binary format to upload and download the zip file I was able to unzip it on other linux machine without any error.

Here are the commands that I used on linux file to zip and upload file -
$ gzip file.txt (This will create file.txt.gz file)

$ ftp <URL of ftp server>

$ ftp : <enter username and password to login>

$ ftp binary

$ ftp put file.txt.gz

Above commands will zip file.txt and upload that on server in binary format

On other linux machine I used following commands to download and unzip the file -

$ ftp <URL of ftp server>

$ ftp : <enter username and password to login>

$ ftp binary

$ ftp get file.txt.gz

$ ftp exit

$ gunzip file.txt.gz (This will unzip the file.txt)

Pass byte array from C# to C++ and vice-versa

Pass byte array from C# to C++ If you want to pass a byte array to native DLL as parameter, you can use the Intptr to do this, please check the demo below. /C++ API code: TestDLL_API void TestArrayPara (BYTE * pArray, int nSize) { for ( int i= 0 ; i<nSize; i++) printf( "%d\n" , pArray[i]); } //C# code: class TestClass { [DllImport(@"TestDll.dll")] public static extern void TestArrayPara (IntPtr pArray, int nSize); public static void Test () { byte [] array = new byte [ 16 ]; for ( int i = 0 ; i < 16 ; i++) { array[i] = ( byte )(i + 97 ); } int size = Marshal.SizeOf(array[ 0 ]) * array.Length; IntPtr pnt = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(size); try { // Copy the array to unmanaged memory. Marshal.Copy(array, 0 , pnt, array
