Hello,
Odd thing. Something seems to get lost/added�to my mc-cgi scripts that are first typed as .txt on Windows and then ftp'ed/emailed to my Apache-Linux server (as .txt) , because I'm finding myself having to retype the whole thing (with gnu emacs) on the server.
Any guesses about what's happening to the file during transit? Invisible characters, such as carriage returns? And, is there a safe way of transferring .txt files so that they stay as is?
Windows standard line ending is crlf (ASCII 13 + ASCII 10), but you need ASCII 10 only on Unix systems.
One easy way round the problem is to type your scripts in a Metacard field (which uses ASCII 10 on all platforms) and directly ftp from within Metacard.
put field "cgiscript" into url "ftp://name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/somepath/somefile.mt"
