Zul.,
The file full.exe needs to be binary (or executable, if you prefer).
The 'copy' command format you used will work on both text and binary
files. The original file names on
ftp://ring.aist.go.jp/archives/pc/gnu-win32/latest do not have a '.txt'
extension while the names you mention above do, so I would assume that
your ftp was in text format and your program appended this ending (this
is a guess).
Try getting the files again, being sure they are in binary format. Then
use the copy command with the /b option, on whatever the filenames are
that your ftp application creates.
Good luck.
