FTP clients and servers are supposed to handle this transparently. If you send in ASCII or "text" mode, the proper end-of-line protocol should be automatically used on the receiving system. In binary mode, of course, you're on your own. RPM packages should obviously always be sent in binary mode. I don't think the install transfers any files that need to be sent in ASCII mode (although I could be wrong).
More likely, the problem with the install is the same as it is for Windows-based ftp servers: Inconsistent file name case mangling. > -----Original Message----- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Tim > Hare > Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 2:52 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] Checking with the experts... > > > Well, that may have just shot down my last guess about why > z/OS USS wasn't > working as the FTP server for SuSe install.
