Check if you are transfering the file in binary mode not in text, since xlsx is nothing more the zip file with xml files inside.

Hi Peasant,
Thanks for your reply.

Yes im transfering the file in binary mode.
FYI, if I ftp the file with xls extenstion i could open it. But if i tranfer it with xlsx it says "file format or extension is in valid"



Thanks
Rathna

Probably the issue is then on server side, which is stopping you from upload of xlsx file based on some kind of file extension check on the server side.

What's creating the xslx file on the Unix box? And what are you trying to open it with on the Windows box?
