There are some long standing problems with FTP. The occasionally erroneous and daa corrupting EOL handling and character transformations are two of them. If you really need to do something like this, may I suggest that you SFTP or rsync-over-ssh to a staging area, and push from there to a publication as needed? That lets you verify the files before transmission, especially if you use rsync. _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
