vsftpd is the culprit!
For some reason "they" consider ASCII mode to be a security
risk and it is disabled in /etc/vsftpd.conf and as far as I
can figure out there is no way to force it to do an ASCII
transfer in that case.
Your only choices are either change vsftpd.conf to allow
ASCII transfers or use dos2unix on every text file you
transfer to fix them.
Good Luck!

Use the "ascii" command to set the transfer type. When the file goes from
MS to Linux, the CR/LF line endings will be changed to be just NL (new
lines).

Subject: FTP Win/2000 to Linux
I'm trying to ftp an ascii file from Windows/2000 to Suse 9.0.
On the Linux side, I edit the file "joe user.diskmap" and out on the
extreme
right hand side, I have a column of upper case M with an underscore under
it.
Obvouisly, some sort of cr or lf character.
But I can't seem to have the file sent without it. The client doesn't have
many options:
ftp> help
Commands may be abbreviated. Commands are:
! delete literal prompt send
? debug ls put status
append dir mdelete pwd trace
ascii disconnect mdir quit type
bell get mget quote user
binary glob mkdir recv
verbose
bye hash mls remotehelp
cd help mput rename
close lcd open rmdir
I can send the file up to VM without the extra character. When I send a
file from CMS to Linux, I also get the character. It seems that the
character might be put in by the FTP daemon.
I am using vsFTPd 1.2.1 on Linux. Obvious that there is an option in the
vsftpd.conf file, but nothing stands out. Does anyone know the fix to this
yet?
Thanks
