Unrecognised container format issue

Any suggest guys?! I can't use bzr at all :(

Unrecognised container format: 'B260' is a hint that bzr doesn't recognize a file format, very few files have such headers but guessing which exactly raised the exception is hard without more information.

Your .bzr.log file (bzr version -v will tell you where it's located) may contain more information.

Given that you're using ftp though, it may just be that your ftp server doesn't implement some key part of the ftp protocol bzr relies on.

I'd suggest you research the existing bugs or file a new one with the relevant excerpts of your log file, I don't have bug numbers handy but many suggestions have been made in the past on how to work around some ftp servers issues or just plainly use a different protocol.

It does sound like the situation where your ftp server claims to
support APPE (append data to a file), but when we request an append it
just overwrites the data instead. B260 is usually our start-of-content
header, which is written after our "this is a pack file" header.

In the attachment you can find .bzr.log file it shows something strange
starting from "11.106 Unable to open <bzrlib.transport." and ending with
"UnknownContainerFormatError"

Could you please tell me what's going on?

I didn't face this issue before!!!

You mean I use FTP server doesn't support APPE? If that so does .bzr.log
shows the details of that error?

PS
I sent the .bzr.log as attachment in the last reply.

Oops it seems that Ansers doesn't support attaching option... so I'll past
here the content of .bzr.log http://pastebin.com/SJhyawZP

By the way, Does bzr support FTPS (FTP over SSL) protocol?

As far as I know, bzr does not have FTPS support. It would probably be
possible to add it (even as a plugin). I know there is support for Kerberos
based authentication, but I don't think that involves SSL at the transport
layer.

Thanks John A Meinel, that solved my question.

I think I've to use another FTP server (I found pureFTPd is most suitable one)

I filed a bug report to Alfresco here: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-19014
