Would it be possible to use a script to achieve the same outcome? I've tried re-uploading/downlaoding the files in multiple modes, to no avail. Also, I ftp'd these files TO a Windows box FROM my BSD box, so I believe that the default mode for that would be binary? Are there any other reasons this may have happened? Any way to test? p. on 1/4/03 6:50 PM, Stephen Hovey at shovey@buffnet.net wrote: > > windows ftp defaults to ascii more, not binary, so its adds a \r to each > \n - you might save your tar files if you upload ascii to get them > stripped out again. > > On Sat, 4 Jan 2003, Phillip Smith wrote: > >> >> Hi, >> >> Wondering what (if anything) can be done about this? >> >> freedom# tar -xf www.tar >> tar: Skipping to next file header... >> tar: Unknown file type '' for >> 8˟ܫ[+n_}M2žV28(Uvjuש, extracted as >> normal file >> tar: Skipping to next file header... >> >> >> I don't understand what's happened to this archive (and serveral others that >> represent my entire system backup)?
