This is expected behavior since the default transfer type for FTP is "ASCII" as required by RFC 959. For VM, you can change the default for specific VM filetypes using the VMFILETYPE option in TCPIP DATA. (We see problems with web browsers that say "binary" but are expecting ASCII text. Very annoying.) It is not likely that a Linux ftp server would let you do that. Alan Altmark Sr. Software Engineer IBM z/VM Development
