You're mixing two different things (xterm that runs a script(1) and FTP), and yet trying to find a generalization that should fit both cases, adding two different OSes to the lot to make things worse :P The way script(1) works is intercept all the output that your terminal driver will send to the terminal screen, and record it to a file. So, when the terminal receives a ^M because you pressed RETURN in your keyboard, script(1) happilly logs the fact in it's typescript file. The way FTP works and ascii vs. binary file transfers is not related to this in any way. Don't try to understand how FTP works by deciphering the way script(1) works, or vice versa. It won't work :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
