ssh & ascii files

[T G Manikandan]

Any workarounds with the sftp on the ascii files.The ascii files seem to the Carriage return character during the transfer.(^M)

Thanks

hi,

have you try the commands, dos2ux or ux2dos?

# /usr/bin/dos2ux >

regards.

Not with external tools.
With sftp is there a option to transfer ascii files.

I've been usins Secure Shell and Openssh between Linux and HP-UX pretty extensively over the past two years.

I frequently use it to transfer ascii perl scripts between my web servers.

In my exerperience, without any help or assisstance, its gotten those transfers right without adding carriage returns. This is between Unix systems.

I've got a tool that works with Windows, its command line, but I'll give it a shot and see what the results are.

You initial question doesn't specify the source and target of the transer. I can say though on Unix to Unix I've not had this problem and I've literaly moved thousands of files this way.

Oh Windows SFTP

The free tools are worth crap.

Here is one that might work.
