croc transfer fails between arch linux x86 64bit and any other device.

Open elliot40404 opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

I have tried to transfer both ways between

  1. windows <-> arch
  2. mac <-> arch
  3. debian <-> arch and none of them worked. All the devices are on my local network and have unrestricted access to the internet. I have also tried with firewalls disabled. All of the devices have the latest croc version which is v10.0.13 at the moment. The transfer works flawlessly between all the other devices.

This is the output from the --debug flag on the receiving arch device.

Arch to arch?

schollz avatar Oct 12 '24 10:10 schollz

Good question. I just created 2 new VMs on my home server which is a separate device and ran some experiments. This is what I found.

Arch VM1 can send to Archbook(laptop)
Arch VM2 can send to Archbook(laptop)
Arch VM1 can send to Arch VM2

Arch VM2 cannot send to Arch VM1
Archbook(laptop) cannot send to Arch VM1
Archbook(laptop) cannot send to Arch VM2

great info. unfortunately I won't be able to help on this since I can't reproduce (I don't have any arch systems)

schollz avatar Oct 12 '24 14:10 schollz

well okay I did try something:

docker run -it archlinux /bin/bash

and from there installed curl and croc and was able to complete transfers both ways...

Thanks. I will also keep investigating and report back if i find anything interesting.
