Hi,
I'm transferring a file from linux to windows
ftp server is on linux (Linux DEMO3 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 13:35:50
EDT 2002 i686) and I use ftp client on windows
My file is called test.txt and I put in it:
hello
world
If I transfer the file in BINARY mode on windows I get:
helloâ–¡worldâ–¡
If I transfer the file in ASCII mode I get...
helloâ–¡worldâ–¡
...exactly the same
If I understand correctly, the only purpose of ASCII transfer is to
re-
interpret the newline character depending on the platform
So I assume that ASCII transfer mode of the windows FTP client is not
working correctly
am I correct?
is it a bug?
how can I make it work?
For the moment, I'm solving the issue running the unix2dos utility on
my windows box
I hope this is the right place for this question, otherwise thanks to
redirect me
Ciao,
Nicola Attico
