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.. Ahmet

Reply: (edit)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.

Reply: (edit)Hi David, thanks...
I tried what you said but it did not help me.
I have now more lines than my previous tries but not all the data... There are still quite
much lines missing...
