New Comment:
We need to be able to use notepad. However the unix like endings works
if the transfer mode is set to ascii.
If we run "TYPE ASCII" or just "ASCII" the server responds with:
200 Type set to A.
The problem is not that we use notepad, the problem is that all
transfers is in binary mode, even if we state FTP_ASCII in the ftp_put
or ftp_get functions.

Please get a decent TXT viewer instead of notepad.
AFAIK it was never able to display Unix line endings properly.
Does your FTP server understand "TYPE A" command?

Description:
------------
The ftp function always transfer files in binary mode which results in
textfiles being corrupted with no newlines.
The configure line we used is
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql
--enable-module=so --enable-ftp
We have not made any changes to php.ini.
We tested on both the latest CVS snapshot and PHP 4.4.4
The code below expects a file named testfile.txt to be located in
/var/www/html/ and a ftp server on localhost with user test, password
test, address localhost and a folder named testdir. When we look in the
logfile of the ftp server we see that the file actually was transferred
in binary mode, we tried 2 different ftp servers with the same result.
The ftp server and webserver are on the same machine (Linux Redhat),
the php page is browsed from a windows XP computer and testfile.txt is
downloaded and viewed in windows XP with notepad.
This bug resembles Bug #19036 but this is between windows and linux
which uses different newline characters. Therefore we must use ascii
mode.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// set up basic connection
$ftp_server = "localhost";
$ftp_user_name = "test";
$ftp_user_pass = "test";
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
echo "FTP connection has failed!";
echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user
$ftp_user_name";
exit;
} else {
echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";
}
$source_file = "/var/www/html/testfile.txt";
$destination_file = "/testdir/testfile.txt";
// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file,
FTP_ASCII);
// check upload status
if (!$upload) {
echo "FTP upload has failed!";
} else {
echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as
$destination_file";
}
// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
That the file was transferred in ascii mode and that the ftp server
logfile would confirm that.
Actual result:
--------------
The file was transferred in binary mode. This was verified when opening
the textfile and the newlines are gone, replaced by 3 squares. Also the
ftp server logfile states that the transfer was in binary mode.
This is true for both uploads and downloads.
FTP server works as expected when using a regular ftp application e.g.
flashfxp, filezilla etc.
