After transferring a file (I tested with .odt and .pdf) from local to
remote directory with gFTP, the transferred copy is corrupt. The
transferred file is smaller than the original. However, OpenOffice.org
seems to be able to repair the corrupt .odt file.

If, instead of gFTP, I use scp to copy the same original file to the
remote directory, everything works OK. Also, if I transfer the good copy
from remote to local directory with gFTP, it seems to work fine.

Hi,
I can't reproduce this problem with Proftpd as server (tried gftp from sid
and lenny).
Corrupted binary files suggest that you maybe transfer the files in ascii
mode. There is a checkbox to force ascii transfer in gftp and maybe you
activated this?

I assume test-scp.odt is the good copy and test-gftp.odt is the
corrupted copy. test-gftp.odt is (to be more specific) truncated
rather than corrupted: as far as it goes, it's identical to
test-scp.odt, implying a dropped connection or something of the sort.

Can you specify what FTP server is on the other end and what sort of
connection is between the gftp client and the server? (local network,
internet, dialup, etc.)
