Hi Humphrey, The link below did mention about ASCII support by lftp but do you know if this still stands if we're using sftp or scp protocol? http://lftp.yar.ru/lftp-man.html * * *mget* [*-c*] [*-d*] [*-a*] [*-E*] [*-O* *base*] *files* *mput* [*-c*] [*-d*] [*-a*] [*-E*] [*-O* *base*] *files* -a use ascii mode (binary is the default)
