- I have come across a problem while transferring files using FTP. I
- wanted to transfer a binary file so I set the type to binary. Then I
- transferred the file from another UNIX machine to my A/UX Mac. The
- file comes through okay but the file type is sometimes binary and
- sometimes text on the Mac. Whether the type is binary or text seems
- to depend on the name of the file, i.e., a particular file will always
- come across as binary or always as text. What I really need is for the
- file to be binary. Has anyone come across this before? Is this a bug?
- Is there a work around?
-
- Thanks for any help.
