You must use BINARY mode or ftp will interpret the data and try to convert it to MS style text. When the ftp session is established, type the command binary to set binary mode. If you are doing it via a web browser, I don't know how to set it because I never do that. (I just use an ftp utility straight up) But, there must be some way, so check around. ////jerry > > Dan >
