- If you are using binary mode transfer, the files should get into
- your shell account OK. So how are you getting them from the account
- connected to the internet down to your commie? If ASCII files are
- downloading OK, and you can uuencode in your shell account, you might
- uuencode the files in the shell account, and download the (ascii)
- uuencoded file. Then uudecode it in the commie (either use UUXFER or
- uuencode in ACE) and you should have a clean copy.
