If you are running ftp from a command prompt it has two modes for transfers, binary and ascii. ascii mode I think is the default and it will convert carriage returns line feeds depending on the type of systems involved. After you have an ftp connection to the site you will need to enter the command: binary This will make sure the ftp client is in binary mode. You will then do the get for the file and it should transfer exactly as it is on the server. Other alternatives are to use a browser to pull the file. It should handle this correctly. -- Scot L.
