Even if it's a text file, I would download it in binary mode, either way.

Chances are that it tried to render the contents via the console/screen or 
something and thus was complaining about the file's contents or something.

Stay well

  Subject: Question: ftp Command Line Program Warning About Line Endings


  Hi,

  ftp warned me about bare line endings when I used its get command to bring a 
file from a Windows box to my Linux box. The warning said that I may not have 
gotten the whole file. The file is a plain text file. 

  * I know that Linux line endings are different from Windows line endings from 
the little Perl that I know.

  * I transferred the file using ASCII mode.

   

  How can I check to see if I got the whole thing? It was created by a Drupal 
module that created a huge SQL statement that transfers data to my site 
database, so I can't read it in a text editor and be sure that it's all there. 
I don't know whatt's supposed to be there. 

   

  Thanks.

   

  Jim
