Hello Scott, Thursday, June 27, 2002, 1:56:54 PM, you textually orated:
SL> Folks, SL> Due to strict DMZ requirements at a particular client, SL> I am not allowed to ftp UNIX files from one Linux server directly to SL> another. SL> Instead, I have to ftp to a general staging area, copy to a Windows 2000 SL> server, SL> burn a CD-ROM, then mount the CD-ROM on my DMZ'd Linux Server. SL> Major pain in the a**! LOL. Thanks for this one. I love this kind of insanity. :) SL> When I go to edit the file on my destination Linux server, SL> it is now recognized by "vi" as a DOS file! SL> I suspect this is being done by the CD-ROM burner as far as setting a SL> file format. SL> I have tried specifying an ISO 9660 format for the CD-ROM, SL> but all this does is mess up the file names to the old 8.3 format, SL> and the files themselves still get whacked into a DOS filetype. SL> How can I convert a file designated as a DOS type, to a UNIX type? Use dos2unix to convert the files you already have transferred. Try FTPing using binary instead of ascii. I know they are text files but the change in line ending is done in the ascii transfer. There is no "translation" in a binary transfer.
