Thanks vm David. > rsync -e ssh -a somelocalfile someuser@someremotehost:/somepath/somefile Does the above command convert from MSDOS text file to Unix text file (ie perform 'ASCII") ? > I don't think ascii mode has any important meaning when transferring files > from windows to linux when you expect to continue to use the file on > windows. It's important to me because the datafiles transferred will be used on Unix subsequently. Will appreciate if anyone/you tell me where do I insert "dos2unix" & "unix2dos" in the above rsync or ssh+cat command (for both ftp get & put equivalents).
