Is FTP layered on TELNET even as sftp on ssh? I had thought not. sftp and ssh both use port 22; TELNET uses 23 and FTP 21. When you mentioned email, I imagined a successor to RFC 822. I know of no internet standard straying from CRLF. If one wants Windows conventions, it's better to use Windows software than WSL. -- Thanks, gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
