Re: Very basic ftp question

Hi,

You want that simple FTP client - app to transfer files to/from - should convert files.

I can agree that optionally should be that feature, but I'm not sure if popular commercial FTP clients do this.

Hi,

You probably know that end of line in Linux is different then on Windows.
If your test file was created on Linux, then on Windows it will be always
hello?world? ... ftp client cant change content of file by changing end of
line from Linux format to Windows.

If OP uses ASCII mode on his Windows FTP client when he fetches the
file from the Linux machine, it should convert the End Of Line
characters. According to OP's post, that's not happening. I don't know
why that should be so.
