ASCII mode FTP (was RE: Fw: error)

[Bob Rasmussen]

I haven't been paying full attention, as I was distracted by 103-inch TVs 
at CES! So please pardon me if I stumble...

I believe the question is: what is the nature of "ASCII mode" file 
transfer, in Anzio and elsewhere?

Usually this means dealing with different line-ends; line-feed on Unix and 
return/line-feed on Windows.

LONG AGO it might have meant stripping a control-Z from the end of a DOS 
file while converting it to a Unix file. But seriously, folks, ctrl-Z as 
end-of-file has not been used since DOS 1.0, if I recall correctly! So 
Anzio doesn't do anything about it.
