The most likely problem is that it was transferred in ascii mode; Dos/Windoze machines will will add extra characters when translating newlines to CR-LF's. GUI clients usually have a binary/ascii/auto selection to set the mode, or use "binary" or "ascii" to set it from the ftp prompt. --Neil my computer: % ls -l total 2900 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 21 11:25 ./ drwxr-xr-x 17 root wheel 512 Nov 4 22:07 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 153 Oct 21 11:02 CHECKSUM.MD5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1014 Oct 21 11:02 README.TXT -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1474560 Oct 21 11:02 boot.flp -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1474560 Oct 21 11:02 fixit.flp ftp.freebsd.org: ftp> ls 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. total 5796 -rw-r--r-- 1 2035 ftp-Free 153 Oct 21 08:02 CHECKSUM.MD5 -rw-r--r-- 1 2035 ftp-Free 1014 Oct 21 08:02 README.TXT -rw-r--r-- 1 2035 ftp-Free 1474560 Oct 21 08:02 boot.flp -rw-r--r-- 1 2035 ftp-Free 1474560 Oct 21 08:02 fixit.flp 226 Transfer complete.
