University of Alberta

5.2.1-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p3 #0: Thu Mar 25 19:38:21 MST 2004 root@chronus:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
>Description:
If you call ftp with binary mode, ie:
ftp --binary server
or ftp -inv --binary
it does not set binary mode for doing the transfer.
You must set binary after the connection is established for it to work.
>How-To-Repeat:
ftp a tar file to a Windows FTP server, when setting binary when you call ftp. ie: ftp --binary my.windows.server. Then try to open the tar file.
>Fix:
Have ftp remember options that are set when starting the ftp client.
