If I manually FTP a file from UNIX to DOS using windows FTP.EXE, then the DOS file has CR/LF as the end of line markers. If I use the Inet control (Microsoft Internet Transfer Control) and do a .Execute , "GET unixfile dosfile" then the file comes across EXACTLY as it is on UNIX (Ie. just LF end of line markers). FTP.EXE seems to auto-convert EOL markers. (Historically, DOS text files uses CR/LF combinations for end of line, while UNIX uses LF for its end of line).
Does anyone know if there is a way to tell the INET control to set the EOL markers to CR/LF for UNIX to DOS, and LF for DOS to UNIX ?????
