If it's S390 or z/os it might be a setup problem on your FTP started task. I
use the ftp task from ant 1.5.1 as is and have not had any translation
problems. When I send text data I use binary="no", and a second task
binary="yes" for things like .class files. You might check your TCPIP.DATA
parms, see what you have for ASATRANS, CCXLATE and SBDATACONN.
Also I have a few S390 java programs that send data to WINNT and unix, the
code page that I use is CP1252, might be the one you want.
