Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting how to identify the mode of the file in unix Post 302285930 by sunpraveen on Tuesday 10th of February 2009 01:17:09 AM

Selva,

How exactly is the file coming to the server? Is it through FTP? If so, what mode are you using for transferring? ASCII or BINARY?

Note that if the FTP transfer mode is ASCII, then the files might have ^M characters or square boxes appended at the end of each line, which may result in the failure of your script. Hence, BINARY mode of FTP transfer is always preferred.

HTH, Smilie

Regards,

Praveen
