The only solution I know to this problem is to re-upload the file in binary mode and to avoid ASCII unless you are sure that you have ASCII files. Transferring ASCII files in binary mode won't hurt them (though you may have issues with ^Ms at the end of lines is your transferring between different OS families), but binary files in ASCII mode is poison. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) crumley at fields.space.umn.edu |Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |Dmitry's free,Jon's next? http://faircopyright.org
