Hi Mike,
It sounds like your problem is that you're downloading with ASCII mode
where the ftp program automatically converts single newlines into CR LF.
Make sure your ftp program is set to use binary mode and you should be
ok. Just about any ftp program should be ok, including using the command
line ftp.
Good luck,
Sean.
If using ASCII mode it does a lot more than convert newlines. ASCII
mode converts all bytes to fit within the ASCII range of characters and
will not transmit any that are outside that range without conversion..
Yes, it does corrupt binary files irretrievably.
