ASCII upload a text file, file size changed

Question

Hello! I've got a problem about ASCII mode upload a text file.
The file can succesful uploaded, but i checked the file size that is different.
I found some character "0D" (normal line with 0D0A, but some alnormal line with 0D0D0A) was added on some line by using HEX editor.

I'm using edtftpj-1.5.2

Any idea?

Answer 2

Thanks for reply!
my platform are listed below

Windows 2000/XP --edtftpj--> Windows Server 2000 sp4 with SFU

Answer 3

If using Windows -> Windows, binary transfers will work fine.

We'll look into why this might be happening ...

Answer 4

Thx Reply!

I tried binary mode transfer and found OK!

Just wonder if the packet is used for mulit-platform (Windows <--> UNIX / LINUX / WINDOWS / AIX)
am i need to do any other thing to make it work?

As i really have case to upload file from windows to UNIX / AIX.

THank again!

Answer 5

For some reason, i have to upload the files in ASCII mode.

Just find something

It seems that if the x0Dx0A character is placed exactly on the boundary FF-00 (e.g. x7FFF-x8000, x73FFF-x74000, x87FFF-x88000, xBFFFF-xC0000, xDBFFF-xDC000 in the attached file), an extra x0D character will be inserted.
