Can you check content-type and encoding properties of the document through Alfresco Explorer? Hopefully, that will be a clue as to what exactly is happening.

Are you able to see the sites from Share application?

You can also use node browser to get the content type and encoding information.

Navigate to,
Node Browser–> Company Home–> Sites–> Your site name –> document libaray –> filename.txt

and look at the Content property of the document.

It will look like something below,
{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content
contentUrl=store://2013/2/22/11/0/32261a1e-86ba-4416-b9e8-18610607c946.bin|mimetype=text/plain|size=5841|encoding=UTF-8|locale=en_US_|id=240

Hope this helps you !

Hi,

I checked the content type and encoding.Encoding is UTF-8 and content type is MS word which is correct.Also i have verified if not all bytes are written while uploading but all bytes are also written to the server.When we download and try to open the file the contents are corrupted.
