SFTP file format question

Hi,

We here at State of Iowa are trying to SFTP an ascii text file off of an IBM server over to our DOL SUN Server using Solaris 5.8. After doing the secure handshake login all I am doing at present is "sftp> get testfile". Somehow in pulling the file in from the IBM server to the SUN server it is converting it to machine language. Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so how were you able to over come it?

Thanks,

wsiefkas
