"Line break code" chances after file transfer (local<->server)

Tue, 07/06/2010 - 15:18 — engagement

Is there a possibility, to transfer files with the originally file code?

I use a SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol with an Windows Vista machine. After an upload or download the "line breaks" in the transfered file/s changed. As consequent the compare tool (option: file size) doesn't work. :-((( E.g. FileZilla transfers files unchanged to the source file code. (A change of the UTF8 encoding in the Properties doesn't help.)

Thanks.

Transfers->ASCII Mode: empty the list does not work

If I submit an empty list for "Use ASCII transfer mode...", the change is ignored (3.2.3, Windows 7 x64).
After reopening the Properties dialog, the default "TEXT/*" is still in there, so I have no way to prevent the ASCII transfer mode for certain file MIME types.

I would also suggest to remove a default here and set an empty list as default.

Greetings,

I am having the same issue, fix doesn't work?

Hello,

I am having the same issue, with line endings being changed on transfer and adding empty lines between every line:

<?php

if (strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) != 'on') {
    exit(header("location: https://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}"));
}

?>

Turns into:

<?php
 
 
 
if (strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) != 'on') {
 
    exit(header("location: https://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}"));
 
}
 
 
 
?>

EDIT: Had to add space encodings to fix the display.

I have applied all of the fixes mentioned to all of the transfer types, but it has not fixed the problem. Anybody know what may be going wrong here?

Thanks!
Jared

SFTP transfer mode

Hi,
bitkinex supports binary and ASCII transfer modes. Some protocols (like FTP) have native support for these two modes, other protocols (like SFTP) haven't. In such case bitkinex just emulates the ASCII transfer mode by performing the appropriate replacements of the NL (new line) and CR (carriage return) characters. If you open the properties of your COPY request and switch to the Advanced property page you will see the mode which has been used for the particular transfer. By default, bitkinex automatically selects the mode depending on the file extension. Open the SFTP/SSH properties (right click the Sftp/SSH icon in the small control window) and switch to the "Transfers->ASCII Mode" property page. There you can see all file extensions for which the ASCII transfer mode will be used. You can just empty this list to completely avoid the ASCII emulation in your SFTP transfers.
