    Hi,

    Thanks for your feedback guys. It was as i suspected all along that sftp
    does not do ascii files. The reason i need ascii mode is that some mdl
    files that i use for sending do not work accurately when sent through
    binary mode. As for the exact reason, i haven't been able to fathom,
    however it works when i use windows and select ascii mode for secure
    file transfer. Another question is whether scp contains ascii mode? i
    don't think so because they use the same protocol don't they? I'm
    probably answering my own question here but it'll be nice if someone
    could correlate what i said, thanks!

    I read somewhere that there is sftp2, can anyone tell me more about that
    as to whether there is an option to use ascii mode for file transfers?
    It's a drag because i have to reboot back to windows in order to fire up
    the secure file transfer and then get my colleagues to send me the file
    again to my email in windows.

    Regards,
    Alvin
