My first guess is that this is a difference between CR/LF and LF terminating each line. I think that your FTP and SFTP clients are set to treat line termination differently. (Something like binary mode.) To see what is actually in a file I normally go to the unix utility od (octal dump) which I invoke as od -c to make it easier to interpret - and it will show what is used at end-of-line (with that flag it will show these new-line as \n return as \r -- --henry schaffer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
