Red Hat

One quick question, you have mentioned here that Redhat is doing ASCII transfer, but the issue we face is when I transfer the file from windows to Linux and not Vice Versa.
Also,
as mentioned previously, in the command window of dos, during ftp tp linux, I had mentioned ascii. So the ftp client on dos must have sent the file in ascii mode OR here the target(Linux) FTP server dictated terms and forced in binary?

Regarding contents of /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf, I cannot put it here due to restrictions but, can you please tell me what exact thing to look into it?

One more thing, even if Redhat Linux forces the use of Binary mode, I also faced the issue when sending a proper binary file to Redhat. It also had the dos chars. Hows that possible then?

I'd be looking for things like:

Code:

 
 allow ascii upload=no

and/or

Code:

allow ascii download=no

Something on those lines

Yes, found these line, but they are commented. So I guess its forcing binary as you said. But will these settings, which hare on the target Linux box, have any effect on the ftp which we do from a windows machine to it?

A recent vim, when the majority of lines have <CR><LF>, does not display the <CR>s as ^M, but goes into [dos] mode. New lines will get the extra <CR>. So you can directly edit DOS files.

hicksd8 and every one, thanks for your time and help.

Can the moderators please move this thread to RedHat specialist forum? Thanks in advance.

Done.

Issue solved, set the value of ascii_download_enable and ascii_upload_enable to yes in vsftpd.conf

Thanks hicksd8, bakunin and others who gave their guidance.

My Regards,
Albert
