FTP File Size Problem from UNIX to

Hello,
I have an shell script to transfer a 50KB TXT file from UNIX to NT4 server. The transferred file become 4-5KB less... When I look inside the transferred file I see that some lines are deleted from the file. This is so strange error for me.. How this file is being changed while transferring!!! There should be a file size restriction in somewhere(UNIX FTP Server) in Unix, but I can not find it, even FTP Server... At the beginning i was transferring 3KB files and there was no problem... But with 50K files i have such a problem... How can I get rid of this strange problem... Thanks..

Try selecting 'binary' as the transfer method. 'ascii' will translate line endings, alter the file lenght and may account for the problem you are seeing.
