I didnt
bump the post, I got an error on the original post didn't see it come through so I posted again. sorry
A little background... these are audit reports that are supposed to be viewed by someone who has no access to the unix commands that could possibly alter them at the unix level. The reports take up a lot of disk space and we have to keep them for a year so as standard process, we compress stored reports and files. On the old server I accomplished the access requirement by having the reports viewed via our hummingbird desktop ftp software. the reports came up fine after going through the zip utility on the desktop.
Now they don't on the new platform. I get some little boxes and other strange characters (perhaps not true meta characters) imedded in the report and the whole report format is thrown off when they are zipped coming from the server. If they are in plain txt format they are fine.
Hummingbird has a lot of options and I tried a few, but haven't resolved this issue.
