They are flat text files. You will be able to open them in NotePad. If CuteFTP lets you set it, you need to transfer them as ASCII files, not binary, or the lines won't be properly terminated on Windows. If you can't set binary/ascii with CuteFTP, you're probably going to have to get a more capable FTP client to install FreeBSD. <mike > Thanks, > > JSMolinaro > > - ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01C0783C.92604F10 > Content-Type: text/html; > charset="iso-8859-1" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> > <HTML><HEAD> > <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = > http-equiv=3DContent-Type> > <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2920.0" name=3DGENERATOR> > <STYLE></STYLE> > </HEAD> > <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> > <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>This may not be a specific question for = > FreeBSD=20 > support but maybe you can help.
