FTP behaving erraneous way
Hi Gurus,

I tried FTP one file to UNIX which got values like

wel^come

If I see the content in unix, it shows like

wel^Zcome

^ coverted into ^Z (Control + Z )
Can someone please share what is happening here?

Thanks,
Shahnaz

Are you transmitting BIN?

What is the OS on both sides of the transmission?

Soruce OS is z/os and destination is AIX 5.2

Thanks,
Shahnaz.

Can you run the same command on each server to see whether the underlying characters are the same or whether FTP has changed them.

Pick example lines from the output from this sed command (which is designed to show non-printing characters in an unabmiguous manner).

Code:
sed -n l filename
