FTP with Internet Transfer Control

[dschach]

I'm using the Internet Transfer control to FTP text files from a NT box to a UNIX box. The files transfer fine, however the carriage return at the end of each line is replaced with a ^M character when viewing the files in UNIX. Is there a way to set set the FTP mode so this character doesn't appear?

Are you using the ASCII (Type A) mode?

I believe so. However, I don't know how to change to Binary mode. Sending a text string of "binary" with the Execute method doesn't seem to work.

I know what you are talking about (I have UNIX, and it probably says 'Didn't strip carriage returns after network transfer?') anyway, this only happens to me when I transfer trough a shared drive, not FTP, so I'm sorry I can't help you any further.

example to download file.exe from ftp.cdrom.com:

Dim B() As Byte 'To store file into
Inet.Protocol = icFTP
B() = Inet.OpenURL("ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/file.exe", 1)
Open "C:\file.exe" For Binary As #1
Put #1, , B()
Close
Inet.Cancal 'To Close Any Connections

Hope this helps!

He used binary transfer, the ITC(Internet Transfer Control) cant handle ASCII transfer
